Objectively the Best Exercise for the Aging You
What barbell exercise is the most important for the aged?
Lon Kilgore PhD argues that age-related strength loss—especially in sedentary individuals—is a major contributor to frailty, loss of independence, and even premature mortality. Drawing from data in fourteen research studies, he shows that leg strength declines earlier and more steeply than strength in other regions, making lower-body training especially critical. Despite the common misconception that back pain or knee pain should discourage exercise, Kilgore emphasizes that targeted movement can actually reduce discomfort and preserve function when done with appropriate care.

Clarivate to stop counting citations to retracted articles in journals’ impact factors
"The change comes after some have wondered over the years whether citations to retracted papers should count toward a journal’s impact factor, a controversial yet closely watched metric that measures how often others cite papers from that journal. For many institutions, impact factors have become a proxy for the importance of their faculty’s research."

Weakness Is the New Smoking
Dr. Eades examines a Michigan study linking grip strength to longevity.
We intuitively know that fitter, stronger people live longer than those that are sick and weak. In this article, Dr. Eades reviews a University of Michigan study that provides evidence to support this intuition. The 2022 study simplified strength down to a single measure, grip strength, then compared that to biomarkers associated with aging.
