Swedish Study Shows Fitness Decline Starts at 35

Swedish Study Shows Fitness Decline Starts at 35

A big study in Sweden followed people for almost 50 years to see how their bodies change as they get older.

They found that people start to get less fit and strong around the age of 35.

But the good news is that even if you start exercising later in life, you can still get a little bit stronger.

The study shows that it's never too late to start moving and being active.

The researchers want to find out why people are strongest at 35 and how exercise can help slow down the loss of strength.

They will check the participants again next year when they are 68 years old.
