The problem with weight loss? It often comes at the cost of muscle and physical function - especially in older adults. That’s why exercise isn’t optional during weight loss. It’s essential. But does resistance training outperform aerobic training? New data in obese older

As we age, muscle mass and strength naturally decline, making everyday tasks harder. But as A/Prof @DavidScottPhD points out, resistance training can counter this process, keeping us active and reducing risk of chronic diseases. Read his full comments: https://t.co/mGbNHb13DO

Not only is the cost of living rising but page charges for those of us trying to publish our research with the aim to improve health outcomes, policy, practice etc. @JCSM_cachexia can u explain why it costs US$5400 = >AU$8000 😳 to publish in your journal? Highest I have seen!
