60+, 70+, 80+, 90+: how older men and women can gain muscle at different ages

oglobo4 September 2026 at 08:30

Researchers warn that strong muscles are essential for a longer and healthier life, but that they begin to wither and lose strength early on. The article addresses how men and women aged 60 and over can gain muscle at different age groups, including people aged 70, 80, and even 90 or over. The good news presented is that it is possible to preserve and even improve muscle mass even at very advanced ages. However, this does not happen without effort: it is necessary to practice physical exercises that are heavy according to each person's level and that are progressive over time.

Social jetlag: sleeping more on weekends can increase anxiety in teenagers, new study shows

A new meta-analysis published in the journal Sleep Medicine Reviews found that teenagers between 12 and 18 years old who sleep more on weekends may have higher levels of anxiety. Analyzing data from more than 235,000 young people and eight studies on the topic, researchers identified a link between the so-called "social jetlag" — the discrepancy between the teenager's biological clock and the school routine — and anxiety symptoms such as worry and restlessness. The greater the difference between sleep schedules during the week and on weekends, the more likely young people are to report higher levels of anxiety, reinforcing the importance of sleep as one of the pillars of mental health in adolescence.

Einstein's "happiest thought" passed the first test in the quantum world

An international team of researchers announced the first successful observation of the effect of gravity on a quantum object in free fall, in a study published in Science Advances. This experimental result demonstrates for the first time, more than a century after Einstein's prediction in 1907, the link between gravity and the quantum world — the physicist's so-called "happiest thought." However, the researchers emphasize that this experiment does not unify quantum mechanics with gravity, nor does it prove that gravity is a quantum phenomenon, but it provides experimental support for the idea that both domains are connected.
