Hello, swimming or weight training, which is better for longevity?
We found 5 scientific studies that address the relationship between physical exercise and longevity.
The available evidence today is limited, but suggests that both weight training and aerobic activities (such as swimming) may contribute to a longer life, especially when combined.
🔬 Weightlifting and aerobic exercises reduce the risk of death
⚠️ Limited Evidence
• Observational study found associations but does not prove cause and effect directly
👉 Doing weightlifting regularly (1 to 2 times a week) was associated with a 9% lower risk of death. When combined with aerobic exercises (like swimming), the benefit reaches a reduction of 41% in the risk of death.
