PEAK FITNESS DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE

Remember your 20s’ body? Researchers explain that physical fitness peaks at around 20 years of age and stays there into the early 30s. That is when the fitness levels begin to decline steadily into old age. The good news is that those who have the peak fitness levels in their 20s usually stay physically healthy and use less healthcare services throughout their lives. Adolescence is the most important period in all our lives. It’s when our cardiovascular, cardiorespiratory, skeletal, and muscular strength are formed, creating the foundation of health for life. Bone mineral density (BMD) peaks in the late teens. BMD is the main factor in whether a person gets osteoporosis and may suffer its complications later in life. Physical activity and nutrition are factors that teens have control of to build the best bodies they can for their future. (1) Do they? Soft Health and Healing Clinic recognizes that adolescent teens don’t think about these things. The teen years have many other distractions demanding their attention!

HOW CAN WE HELP Brooks TEENS BUILD THE BEST BODIES POSSIBLE?

Competition and activity seem to work! The most efficient ways to get teens to as peak a fitness level as possible is to encourage them to move early in life. One study arranged competition among student groups outfitted with pedometers and monitored their steps for 12 weeks. Students in this study all ended up doing more physical activity both in in-school and in after-school activities. Their cardiorespiratory fitness increased. Body fat and waist-to-height ratios decreased. The leisure-time physical activity remained high for a year after the intervention.
