KEEPING YOUNGER AS YOU AGE!

Remaining physically active as we grow older could help to keep our muscles and immune systems robust and keep you younger. The experiments add to growing evidence that some of our assumptions about aging may be out-dated and we might have more control over the process that we think.

Aging often seems inexorable and unvarying, and in chronological terms, it is. The years mount at the same pace for each of us.

But our body responses to the passage of time can differ. While most people become frail, a few remain spry. These differences recently prompted a group of British scientists to wonder whether our beliefs about what is normal and inevitable with physical aging might be limited or incorrect, and in particular, whether we might be ignoring the role of exercise.

Exercise among middle-aged and older adults is rare. By most estimates, only 10% of people past the age of 65 work out regularly.

Cycling is one of those sport which limited aging. Thanks to the study based on people between 55 and 79 years old, the cyclists proved to have reflexes, memories, balance and metabolic profiles that more closely resembled those of 30 years old than of the sedentary older group. The cycling physical activity most likely alter and slowed the supposedly normal arc of muscular decline.

Cycling rejuvenates the immune system

Scientist came to the conclusion that Older cyclists are not like most of the rest of us. They are healthier. They are biologically younger. Their muscles generally retained their size, fiber composition and other markers of good health across the decades.

The impacts on rider’s immune system also were marked. The aging cyclists has almost as many new T cells in their blood as do the young people. Those who exercised also showed high levels of other immune cells that help to prevent autoimmune reactions and of a hormone that protects the thymus against shrinkage.

The immune system decreases about 2-3% per year from our twenties, which is why older people are more susceptible to infections, rheumatoid arthritis and potentially cancer. Because cyclists have the immune system of a 20-year-old rather than a 70- or 80-year-old, that means they are less exposed to these diseases.

… But also, your skin!

It also proved that cycling rejuvenates your skin. The 65-year-olds who regularly do endurance sports like exercise bike have a younger skin of 20 to 40 years! These results are incredible and show that, thanks to a physical activity, the epidermis regains elasticity and the dryness of the skin is only a bad memory !

Wear G4 clothes will make you feel younger!

Creative little touches, trims and colourways differentiate the men’s and women’s cycling products so that they match yet also stand apart. Sport is more than an activity to keep you in shape, it’s a lifestyle. LYCRA® SPORT technology ensures optimal compression during exercise when you need muscle recovery and freedom of movement the most. It gives you all the flexibility you need when you’re working hard. Our outfits are made from a flexible and lightweight membrane, with a very high level of performance in terms of flexibility as well as ventilation, and which is characterised by a very high elasticity. Enjoy unrivalled performance in a fully designed bike for aerodynamics.
