which is why those that do sort themselves out tend to go for endurance rather than power sports, as the loss of muscle mass is less important and can even assist

im not disputing its benifits to bone density' ' it just im not all that intrested in disscussing it

but then running improves bone density, as does ball room dancing, it not the only way for old folk to improve it ,
damm now im discusing it!
what point are you actually disagreeing with?

well yea, you can hike acxross the artic ice cap if you want, just coz it accessible doesnt mean many people do it, certainly not old men,

now dont get me wrong, im a firm beliver, that 50 odd year okd could do it, that they can maibtain a very high level of fitness well into their 60s, just that the people who dothat are from observation of my contemporaries, a very small % of the whole, even more that once you have let yourself go, its difficult in the extreme to get it back again, your likely to have lost 20lbs of muscle mass by the time your in your 50s if youve been compartaivly sedimentary for the 20 years or so, just putting on that level of muscle mass can be taxibg in the extreme and take an excesivly long time in your 50s

which is why those that do sort themselves out tend to go for endurance rather than power sports, as the loss of muscle mass is less important and can even assist

An obstacle course for an over 50 is a lot more accessible than hiking an ice cap. Because the opportunity is a lot more available.

This is literally the sort of thing you can enter and do over a weekend.

And they have created a division for 50 plus so old people are obviously doing it.

its several thousand miles in circumference,, you cant get more available than that if like 80% of the world population you live north of the equator, i could be there in 4 hours,

how many old people are doing it exactly,? 10, 100, 1000?

You can get more available because you can do a spartan obstacle course south of the equator as well as north and you don't have to fly 4 hours to access one.

The majority of old people can do it.

For example we don't have figures on how many over 50s play soccer. Doesn't make that a 1% activity.

I'm pretty sure I can't get to the arctic ice cap in 4 hours. Maybe 4 hours of flight time, but I don't own a private jet, so it'd take quite a bit more than 4 hours.

if you dont have figures, it makes it a no % activity. we have one over 50s team in the whole city, i doubt its a 0.1 % activerty

So how many over 50s play soccer? How many play bingo?

Without the figures it appears that over 50s don't do anything.

well they do something, i can accuratly predict that if they are alive they are dong something, even if its sitting there watching tv

if you want to make more specific claims than that you need figures or your just making things up
