Your bad cholesterol level, which relates to the building up of plague deposit on the artery wall to your heart, can be reduced by resistance band training. It can also benefit high blood pressure.
When your muscles are working against resistance higher than what you normally encounter, they squeeze onto your bones and stimulate bone formation. This helps your balance, reduces risks of bone fracture, osteoporosis and falls.
Gordon et al at The University of Limerick, Ireland, have found evidence that resistance exercise training resulted in significant reductions in symptoms of depression and anxiety. Both strength and aerobic trainings have many beneficial effects on brain health.
Direct crosstalk between muscle and brain have been discussed in 2019 in Nature Reviews Endocrinology by Pedersen at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Exercise increases muscular expression of enzymes that reduces depression-like symptoms. It also induces neurogenesis and benefits cognitive function.
We use glycogen, a form of glucose stored in muscle, for fuel when we're working out. Once this burns out, we start to replenish it from the liver and the blood back into the muscles, which helps decreasing blood glucose. Trained muscle also has a higher capacity for storage, hence less glucose in the blood.
