Participants were monitored over 12 weeks and assessed for objective and subjective measures. They were compared to the control group, which followed standard physical activity guidelines of 150 minutes of exercise per week.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAge-related loss of muscle mass and strength is particularly important to counteract by women over forty because muscle mass and strength of women in their thirties already trends lower,\u201d said Dr. Nima Alamdari, a Pvolve Clinical Advisory Board Member and Harvard-trained physiologist. \u201cThe Healthy Aging Study is a first-of-its-kind, underscoring the efficacy of lower impact, functional fitness on women\u2019s health outcomes, not only protecting and improving physical strength but enhancing women\u2019s quality of life and wellbeing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Women have long been underrepresented in the global fitness market, estimated at around $1oo billion. According to recent research, only 34% of participants in medical studies and a mere 6% in sports science studies were women. Pvolve\u2019s Healthy Aging Study aimed to bridge the gap in knowledge about the impact of exercise on women aged 40 to 60.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As women enter their late 30s, they experience a decline in lean muscle mass, ranging from 3-8% per decade. There remains a strong culture around high-impact routines and cardio-based workouts, particularly for women. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/athletechnews.com\/mindbody-2024-wellness-report\/\">strength-focused workouts<\/a> can help prevent injury risks from falling and generally improve mobility and coordination.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs women age and go through various phases of menopause and other hormonal changes, they can experience a slowing metabolism, Sarcopenia and the natural decline of strength. It can be frustrating when trying to counterbalance things like weight gain or muscle loss, with a workout routine that is not producing expected results or is counter-productive,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/athletechnews.com\/antonietta-vicario-pvolve-chief-training-officer-exclusive-chat\/\">Antonietta Vicario<\/a>, chief training officer at Pvolve. \u201cPvolve addresses the needs of women by understanding how to pair fitness with their life stages.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019re proud to share initial research results and provide an effective, science-backed program that supports women&#8217;s overall health-span, especially given that research has historically focused on men or younger athletes,&#8221; Vicario added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pvolve made big gains in 2023, <a href=\"https:\/\/athletechnews.com\/jennifer-aniston-inks-deal-with-pvolve\/\">partnering with Jennifer Aniston<\/a>, and conducting major <a href=\"https:\/\/athletechnews.com\/pvolve-expands-to-southeast-opening-nashville-franchise-location\/\">brick-and-mortar franchise expansions<\/a> throughout the United States, including locations in California, <a href=\"https:\/\/athletechnews.com\/pvolve-nyc-upper-east-side-franchise\/\">New York City<\/a> and Atlanta, among others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Healthy Aging Study reveals the brand&#8217;s new potential strategic focus on older age groups, bolstered by the choice of Aniston as a brand ambassador and advisor. The A-lister partnered with Pvolve last year after seeing results using the brand&#8217;s functional fitness method. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Pvolve Method has been transformational for me, so I\u2019m excited about the research that shows how Pvolve can help women improve their physical strength and overall well-being at any stage,&#8221; Aniston said. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Women aged 40-60 saw improved lower body functioning after engaging in Pvolve&#8217;s functional fitness workouts, according to a new study.","protected":false},"author":55,"featured_media":102171,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"disable_comments":false,"pmpro_default_level":"","tpd_franchise_content":"","hide_featured_img_single_post":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"tpd_featured_video":[],"tpd_sponsored_post_logo":"","tpd_sponsored_post_logo_link":"","tpd_sponsored_post_logo_width":0,"tpd_sponsored_enable_nofollow":true,"tpd_disable_incontent_ads":false,"tpd_disable_right_rail_ads":false,"tpd_disable_after_content_ads":false,"tpd_disable_header_ads":false,"tpd_disable_sticky_footer_ads":false,"tpd_disable_video_ads":false,"tpd_disable_outbrain":false,"tpd_affiliate_disclaimer":[],"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[82,1006,1726,2903,4203,3236,3780],"post-options":[],"vertical":[],"coauthors":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-102169","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fitness","8":"tag-boutique-fitness","9":"tag-fitness-franchise","10":"tag-functional-fitness","11":"tag-jennifer-aniston","12":"tag-pvolve","13":"tag-strength-training","14":"tag-womens-health","15":"pmpro-has-access"},"acf":[],"featured_media_url":"https:\/\/athletechnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image-_10_-1180x664.webp","author_name":"elizabeth-ostertag","author_avatar":"https:\/\/athletechnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/cropped-Ostertag-Elizabeth_5808-scaled-1-96x96.jpg","primary_category":{"term_id":4,"name":"Fitness","slug":"fitness","taxonomy":"category","url":"https:\/\/athletechnews.com\/category\/fitness\/"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v26.8) -
