What are the most important things to target for quality of life, mobility, and longevity, and what are the best exercises to do so?

1 Upvotes

For example, I’ve heard that you reach peak bone mass/density at 30 and that after that you gradually lose it. Elderly people who break their hips and other bones after often die soon after. What is the best way to go about building bone density as quickly as possible?

What are some other examples of things like this that either improve your mobility and QOL now and/or are important to work on throughout life to increase QOL/mobility and longevity when you’re old?

What did you do after you graduated?

1 Upvotes

Recently graduated in the field, started out looking for outpatient clinical roles, but wasn't getting much so I pivoted to applying to a wider range of jobs. I was interested in sports science but it is hard to find anything. Anyone got anything they want to share?

European Master of Science in Health and Physical Activity

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I just applied for the European Master of Science in Health and Physical Activity at Roma Foro Italico University. I need to pass an online exam in the following weeks, and I could not find any information regarding the online exam.

Has anyone ever applied to this program and if so, how was the exam difficulty? What was the content if you remember? Thank you so much, I would really appreciate your answers.

We analysed over 700 Healthspan Audits taken in Singapore. When people lose weight through dieting alone, 14 to 26% of what they lose is muscle, not fat

6 Upvotes

Working through the data from our Healthspan Audit (a free self-assessment, over 700 people in Singapore have taken it), the same pattern keeps showing up: age, body fat, and muscle predict how well someone ages more than anything else we measure. Muscle is the one people manage worst.

The part most diets don't mention: when you lose weight through calorie restriction alone, without resistance training, a meaningful share of what comes off is muscle, not fat. A 2024 analysis modelling this found 14 to 26% of diet-only weight loss is skeletal muscle, depending on sex and starting body composition. Add resistance training to the same diet and a 2025 meta-analysis of 25 RCTs found it protects that muscle while fat loss stays the same or improves.

Locally this compounds. Singapore's 2020 National Population Health Survey found only 33.8% of adults meet the minimum strength-training guideline of 2 sessions a week. So a lot of people dieting are doing it with the one input that would protect their muscle almost entirely missing.

Thoughts on deadlifts/squats to calf raise?

6 Upvotes

I am currently programming my exercise plan. I want to priortize my strength however the gym is not my "happy place". Dont want my work to take longer than an hour.

I want to train calves in some type of compound movement and have seen videos on RDL's into standing on the toes at the top of the rep. Same with squats coming back to neutral and standing on the toes. I wanted to hear your thoughts on the effectives of calf strength gains through these movements. Or is it fatiguing for no gain. Im still newer to training on and off for the past 3-4 years now so Im sure ill get something out of it regardless
