You may have heard the terms lifespan and healthspan. They are increasingly used in relation to how old you become. Lifespan literally describes how long you live and refers to the number of years your body functions. Healthspan refers to the years in which your body functions well and you are healthy, vital, and independent. So it’s not only about how old you become, but how you age.
Years with energy, freedom, and quality of life.
It is becoming increasingly clear that muscle strength and muscle mass play a key role in lifespan, but especially in healthspan. Strong muscles protect your health on all fronts: they help prevent falls, support the immune system, and even benefit brain function. Strong muscles form the foundation for a long and healthy life.
fit20 training provides that foundation in just 20 minutes per week. Stronger muscles, stronger bones, a fitter heart–lung system, and a healthier body—including your brain. This way, you invest in your lifespan, and above all in your healthspan: years with energy, freedom, and quality of life.
Misschien heb je de termen ‘lifespan’ en ‘healthspan’ weleens gehoord. Ze worden steeds vaker gebruikt in relatie tot hoe oud je wordt. Lifespan betekent letterlijk hoe lang je leeft en verwijst naar het aantal jaren dat je lichaam functioneert.
