Shona Hendricks and Nicky Freedman from Coach Parry have another mindblowing episode on bone health and women

In this powerful episode, Shona Hendricks and Nicky Freedman dive deep into the reality of bone loss for female runners. They unpack why your bone density starts dropping as early as your late 20s, the truth about stress fractures and under fueling, and what every woman over 45 must do to protect her long-term health and running future. From nutrition and strength training to essential supplements, this is the episode your bones need you to hear.

Resistance training can reduce inflammation

In a meta-analysis of 19 randomized controlled trials in 728 older adults, resistance training reduced C-reactive protein (CRP) and improved physical function.

The resistance training programs lasted 6 to 38 weeks, with 2 to 3 weekly sessions. The exercises included squats, leg presses, bench presses, and rows, performed at 30% to 85% of 1-repetition maximum (1RM) for 1 to 5 sets of 4 to 25 repetitions. The training methods used elastic bands, body weight, free weights, or machines.

Overall, resistance training reduced CRP levels with a moderate-to-large effect size, and interleukin 6 and TNF-alpha remained unchanged. Resistance training also improved walking speed and leg extension strength and reduced body fat percentage.

Resistance training likely reduced CRP by lowering chronic low-grade inflammation, possibly through improved muscle function,[1] increased release of anti-inflammatory cytokines,[2] and reductions in body fat, especially visceral fat (a key driver of inflammation).[3] However, interleukin 6 and TNF-alpha remained unchanged, likely because interleukin 6 has both proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory roles, whereas TNF-alpha is associated with short-term rather than long-term inflammation.

The Underestimated Role of Resistance in Body Recomposition

Having a healthy body composition, with plenty of lean mass – in the form of muscle and bones – is essential for health throughout the lifespan. Achieving a healthy body composition requires a balanced approach that emphasizes resistance training – and calorie reduction where appropriate.


In this Aliquot, Dr. Brad Schoenfeld describes a balanced approach to maximizing muscle growth and strength and dispels early myths about possible blunting effects of aerobic training, the need to train to failure, and the "go heavy or go home" philosophy.
