Exercise beats age in fat loss study says USDA
A USDA study finds fat levels relate to time spent in aerobic exercise rather than age. Among 12 active men in their 20s and 50s, those training 12 to 14 hours weekly had similar fat percentages, while middle aged men averaged 77 percent more body fat overall due to fewer hours. Time spent exercising drives fat loss and fitness, with limits beyond 12 hours weekly.
