They examined the body of 28 men over the age of 70, who for decades visited the gym. Scholars interested in how so much prolonged physical activity affects the natural processes of decay of the body associated with aging.

After some time training in the gym has become a kind of hobby, which is not so and could not refuse.

It turned out that many key characteristics of their organisms are approximately the same age. (READ MORE)
