That’s good. Runners will have healthy brains during their hip and knee replacement recovery.
Any exercise will do. But, given your comment, it might be too late for you.;-)
The dopamine was really pumping during my sciatica attacks.
Amen. Brisk walking good. Running not.
Yeah why study only running? Low impact exercise like swimming or cycling are just as vigorous without the associated damage to your ability to walk later on.
There’s always exceptions, I’m sure we’ve all seen geezers running around, but body weight obviously has a lot to do with it, as older people still running are universally skinny like concentration camp occupants.
High-impact exercise strengthens bones, doesn’t it?

And Karen enters the chat!
Actually that’s a falsehood repeated by those who don’t understand runners.
Yeah, it’s a trade-off. I trained for 40 years, ran for nearly 30,000 miles, and the knees did finally tighten up a bit. But my Quack says the heart in the pic is 15 years younger than the guy using it. And I’m in better shape than the same Quack. He won’t let me use his huff and puff machine anymore since I blew the top off of it. And we don’t talk about blood pressure anymore either-—his walmart sphygmomanometer can’t squeeze hard enough to collapse an artery. And the brain works good enough to avoid the clotshots so it’s all good.
