of the we say never giving the most exciting to stories about people in the drive every weekend on dw, the newborns don't yet have control over their muscles. but nothing works without them from keeping our heads up to crawling. for walking the waste we've learned to control, we often forget the hard past we took to get there. many other organs rely on our muscles as well. how did they work? what are they made up of, and how do we keep them healthy? that's our topic today. on in good shape the,

it's how life goes. sometimes some people are celebrated. well, others do the real work behind the scenes in all these? it's all muscles that do the heavy lifting. i leave with the help come the hot come floods the lungs require and the digestive system process food. go my face control of facial expressions. they allow us to cling and smile, and they can make all has thumbs on, and i'm thanks to powerful skill lead to muscles. we can move our entire body until the kinds of objects muscles are made up of bundles of muscle fibers. and these fibers consist of what the cool myers 5 rolls and these my of 5 rows and 10 a made up of proteins like mice and, and actin. and they was like tiny montez,

and that's triggered by electrical signals that are transmitted through is another system. the headset, the mice and proteins bind to the ox and move it along. the muscle begins to contract and because several waste, several 1000000 of these little muscle nights was working to get to create point to force. unlike machines, all muscles tend to mediately fail when subjected to too much strain. quite the opposite mind, the damage to the 5 us is because a new motorcycle strands are even formed in the price that muscle squared bigger and stronger as a result. and that's good for all health muscle training. also strengthens binds and joints keeps the metabolism going to prevents muscle often old age the muscles can be trained in a targeted manner. however, that's because molten hoff it's them because control consciously in many organs,

the muscles are primarily control unconsciously autonomic nervous system. so the vital both of these functions always remain active. these muscles do also benefit from exercise in directly, for example, sauce to plug flight trains, the house in blood vessels, and deep breathing trains. the muscles of the respiratory system the muscles keep the show on the right. so they just apple, the price they can get the more than 100 years ago muscle men flaunted their enormous pecks in the circus. in the 1950s, bodybuilding grew in popularity. these days, most of men or even in politics and muscle joining isn't always in the gym. it looks as witless step behind the scenes. there's

a lot of strength and body control getting on the floor. again, pool has been dancing valley since he was little here at the jo, noisy my up at a school and how big the us hard on his body every day. especially his muscles. and just as long as he to a certain amount of muscular tour to make it all lucky, easy to control it all to come to the end. he's being dancing all his life and just really sick. and that could be because of his muscles. the research has have found that why norms walk a release hole names that are good for our bodies. good maya kinds. there are many different types of maya kinds, some of which help to find information and rheumatism. another include muscular and it's important for the hot will data hodges, all 7 muscle, a comp which is muscogee in itself and depends on the other muscles to produce at a

new study shows that if the hot gets to natural must glen, it becomes weekend and less and lastic, that's the vehicle, off the shelf, ready to go for a number of years, then exercises and physical activity is beneficial for hard problems, stuff. but what we didn't know is that the muscle actually functions as a hormone, gland, and release as most one decimals. please 500. in particular, we had no idea how exactly must win affects the heart. yet. that's why experts recommend exercising the whole body. especially when the heart is weak activities as a skin, do you do it as a help with it varies greatly from person to person and it will never be possible to make a body builder out of someone really skinny, especially if the person has heart problems. he gets the stuff in the, the advice for patients with hard problems was that they should move as little as possible. that's how it took. but that advice changed years ago, they should in fact exercise and train their muscle salma,

vote for strength and endurance. and with that, the heart will improve health, says cause its beneficial. so people with healthy hearts to what was a p to stall as a best man wants to encourage everyone to exercise as artists will not pay stubs cuz it's a really important that anyone can start exercising at any age in mind. and they will always feel a positive effect on not only physically, but also mental. they need to for a long time moderate ginger and thanks to size was considered sufficient for the experts. now i agree, it's important to train muscle strength to reach the positive effects of my a kind most in most group i'm a you have to really put strain on the muscle. and you should do that something like twice a week. that's a lot loading it to the point where it gets exhausted is an issue, and i'm suppose that has a much higher impact then continuous endurance training tool because i'm not here.

it's often by the impact is especially clear in terms of for example, does the use of the gastro intestinal try and in terms of diabetes, high blood pressure and depression of off the policy or you can get maya kinds and tablet for well can use a good starch but not enough. flo endo strength training twice a week. officer rule he doesn't just have to don. it's perfectly invalid. but lift his partner at the same time. the keys starts at john saying when he was 11 and got one of the coverage of places that the bought a boarding school. now he's 33. he wouldn't be able to dance forever. so he has to change career at some point. he's studying alongside dancing and wants to become a fitness coaching pos on his knowledge. is kind of like it's somewhat easy and

contrast to motivating people, getting the best out. i thought we all these days. a lot of older people are also doing more exercise to maintain their independence in old age so that they don't have to rely and help from others. so that's really where i think i'm going to find my way to motivate people. mine fixed the lot of somebody, the walking out and studying every good combination, even light tanks, the science gets the brain going and increases performance by almost a fish. nissan few generally found to learn a lot, having probably experience that you study something. and if you exercise afterwards, it's easier to memorize things, and that's actually due to these mile kinds as well. the effects on the brain continues into old age. for example, studies show that muscles reduce the risk of dementia and double life expectancy. so people with parkinson's disease, the muscle is also helping

a very practical way exercise will help to prevent julian from developing varicose veins. they usually appear when the veins no longer managed to transport blood out from the legs and the veins polish out. when the next a strong muscle support the veins functioning like a pump and pushing the plot towards the hot and maya kinds can also benefit the blood vessels. as it is, suppose a tv effect of the 1st positive effect from the mile cart says that the inner vessel wall improves significantly, fewer plaques can be deposited as the 2nd. the fact is that it leads to angiogenesis. now, this means that more blood vessels are formed and the organs are better supplied with blood flowing through this improvement. so you can have a positive effect on 2 basic illness, listening strokes and even heart attacks on 5. what often has intact best

man is convinced the importance of muscles and even prescribes muscle building 3 physio therapy for guessing into walking out can be difficult for anyone, as sylvia knows all too well. a v a. have you this is i'm a positive once every year we have a 6 week summer break and when i was younger, i thought a great and did nothing for 6 weeks on. but i guess as you get older, you can feel that your body just needs a little bit more exercise, so probably have it. so now i started to do sports $2.00 and $3.00 times a week. so that when the season starts again, i'm really in top shape and don't need a week or 2 weeks to get back in for the title. but also this is fine. cover muscles want to grow and to be exercised. and doing so helps fight cardiovascular disease. parkinson's out sinus infections and even varicose veins for free on it's clear she wants to keep doing regular exercise for the rest of his life. and

especially keep on dancing. the exercise is fine and keeps you fit well into old age. but what is the aging process and what happens in the body? the aging of simple the begins early, even if we don't notice it from around the age of 20, the long's taken less and with it less oxygen, the most common a slightly decreases. and from the mid twenties, the brain's metabolism also starts to change. this is the reason why reaction times start to deteriorate the about the spinal disks begin to lose that last dissertation because they can no longer hold as much water off. all the becomes more difficult to move

the whole side by the age of 30, all millions of reach the maximum strength to maintain by mass sufficient exercise is done especially important without exercise. the cardiovascular system can begin to decline as early as the mid thirty's. because the hot pumps less efficiently and the vessels are less elastic under exhaustion, these signs of aging become even more noticeable. but some thoughts of all these can stay fit in the old age. like home memory, it can still function well. i tell you today and a good thing too, because every quotes, the richness of our lives, the

research has shown that the brain can continue to change well into old age. but can we actively train it? said that mental exercises protect against dementia. but what is the science that there is no data to support that doing any of these, protects your brain from developing all timers. so what you want to do instead lore, new thing. every time you learn something new, you are creating new neural connections. this is your brain getting bigger, real connections can also break down with severe consequences. mine eclipse, and i guess to fear is that i'm not or won't be who i used to be there. some of it now is great up. i always present. what did i want? the mission of features worried? she keeps guessing what he was wanting to do just a few moments ago. i don't believe it just now. for example,

he and his wife were discussing that sketch. you liked the breakfast and he realized he needed his glasses. that was why he recently retired from his job in a bank and has lots of plans the future. yeah. for some time he and his wife to his moments of forgetfulness one moment. mindful. but then he develops new memory problems. he's only 60 that could no longer remember numbers. so passwords you can find a supported the bus guy. i wanted to write something down shop and i went to do it . i'm on quote, i couldn't write the sentence each item, the things for not even one word is this me, i was gone big, it smells like it was deleted. like i never had it. when dismay forgetfulness become a disease like out sinus or dementia. this question, and that is to be such a noise or in the usa much to be

a good time for you. and you are trying just on to a ph. d at homage. and now it's lectures on diseases such as our assignments in dementia. the novel still alice was made into a film the one and i'll sca a synopsis where narrow transmitters are released. this is where the signals are transmitted, but communication happens. this is where we sink, feel, see here, desire and remember. and the synopsis, we're all timers happen. let's zoom in on this and apps and look at a cartoon representation of what's going on. the new, a scientist explains how forgetfulness is different from a pathological inability to remember. so let me give a couple of examples to illustrate this. so one, let's say i park my car in a garage and i go off and shop for an hour and i come back. i don't know. do i park

on level 3 or level 4? i don't know that's normal and likely due to the fact that i didn't pay attention to where i parked in the 1st place, you cannot remember what you don't pay attention to. if i have all the time or is it different? i'll come back to the parking garage and think. i don't remember how i got here. or i can be standing in front of my own car and not recognize it as mine. michelle, if you haven't experienced extreme lapses like this, he can still go about his day to day life that he's being was during from his friends and move on. i just sent him as when we went out kind of felt like the group was just talking among themselves as possible. and it wasn't completely left out. but sometimes i felt like we weren't a unit like we used to be able to see. and i not drawn you missed something that we have on that push lunch mine from stopping of cocked will stuff to it. sometimes ask me things story. so it was pulling my leg email because it would be things he'd done so many times. things i knew i missed a few. ok to y'all on ya so that,

well i'm trying go through. when i realized something wasn't right, this done, it didn't often says worrying. moments didn't stop. it was a difficult step, but the seats has decided to seek help. the family don't to advise them to get an examination at the memory clinic of the university medical center and mines a series of tests to show where the mission fits is memory deficits are symptom of to see what i'm all right scans planned for the next few weeks so provide images of his brain this order is not no problem knowing the 19th right of march. mm hm. yeah, it says if i had 5, so you came to us a few weeks ago because you were having trouble remembering things. um, you just push them to the home for mac. mm hm. here and the results. this was in dial 8 weeks after the initial examination results the 3 months. i got some concerns michelle feats, his brain has slights,

abnormalities and some areas. and the images from the arrow shows some red areas, and that's it, that's off by the scene, while he's the vice indications that your brain has been altered by outside those disease. it's a philadelphia in there, right now you're in the preliminary stage risk stage. that's the name of offensive business does not look good thing. a sweet detective, the presence of the disease. the reality of that is that which gives us what we call the longest therapeutic window. and then we have more time to ensure that the close of that is a hi, tom did fall off of the device. there's no tools out fine this, but michelle, a few to can smooth it's further development history reviews. so include special brain performance training where she completes every week. the other is not crucial. i really want to do well, it is. this is i want to click everything away. elizabeth clicked, i want to when they speak of in this training is really important. i made a mistake. yeah. my wife in that's one of them. i mean,

the 40 percent of all dimension case as well. why did prevented or delayed white tackling the risk factors that so good man clinton, so you can have a big impact on the disease. true, the variable risk factors, sancho didn't, when he was in the bond, he's a conflict on the therapy is having an effect. feet 2nd now do things he couldn't do. you have a good you could say good. i'm doing really well for him. i can cut the trees again of the volume. i want to do a sailing trip with my boys. he was in planning it for agents along the planted. were hoping i'll stay this way or even get better business. because michelle, if you to identify his illness, al young, he's been able to expect to be counteracted and pursuing his further times, the sleep better, eat healthier, and above all move more. many studies have shown that exercise can reduce the risk of all timers by up to 50 percent. lee, the foundations early and you'll have an easier time in old age. for sports help

children learn to channel excess energy martial or it's also teaching self defense, discipline, mutual respect and politeness and older people can also benefit from them. oh, god, punches kicks and wrestling it's non stop action at this mixed martial arts training session of the audience academy in central germany of to a 7 year break plus like surgery 10 foot long is back on the amount of 50 for me. i know i'm not kicking like a 20 or 30 year old anymore. of course i'm not. but it's just fun. comfortable. martial arts, i've always been my thing and so i'd like to keep going as long as i can be. so kind of like them onto one of these kids amongst his younger pass, hendricks that really stands out circled m m a training is good for quality and fitness and improve strength, speed,

and reaction times. so what about muscle building? what's the full confidence in the building happens naturally through the training because the walk outputs the whole body and destroying paper on the bush of, of the imagery punching, kicking, and the drills we practice with body weight and the whole body is strengthened with us. a couple of acoustic that's all, most slots, really a good idea. so people have to 50, why not sports physician talk to olaf top. that comes because you really need coordination skills and martial arts, and boosting coordination and old age is very important cause of individuals. and we know that in muscle mass decreases and coordination gets worse and on to talk. so martial arts could be a good place to start to improve these things and build strength and not just how important good coordination skills can be seen and you get see what times that goal

. so does twice a week, along with malcolm who is also like to succeed, sees motion lots as a way to balance out his office. stop the family physically, but also mentally important for me. so that's one reason why i do jiu jitsu planning because i'm fully present for the hour and can switch off or i change my life when you come home from train in your mind is free and do you feel like a completely different person? i'm in the motion law requires full concentration the whole time. then train to heidi huffman raises the stakes. now the group have to fight with to 6 to multisite the by training coordination in particular, which means both sides left and right. so not loose in a thing, and that's very demanding. it's a complex sequence for that. so it's a fun. it's very important that you concentrate and lost lots of 50 day. you'll

soon get punched in the nose is my son unites is not pretty quickly. so do you, most of lots really keep you not just physically fit but mentally, to coordinate to the phase guide and how coordination scales have a lot to do with the mind doesn't. and there's research on mental performance being boosted by physical activity. i got the 5th duration company shocked to my company, so they finished it. they probably can't prevent dementia with it, but it definitely gives you a certain mental freshness that marshall out. so high impact. and when you're older, you need to be a bit more careful with your 50 or 70, it's a good idea to consult your doctor before you start training. good. so uh there are a few things that should be checked out. like for the, the cautious with severe osteoporosis coming to the new school,

i certainly wouldn't say, don't do it with osteoporosis, but it didn't, ends on the severity. and then as consultants visa go, and then there's cardiovascular disease. and especially if it's serious heart disease or after a heart attack, we've got to have some talk to that x, y, z dot. you need to figure out your fitness level and how the body responds to a fast or heart rate one to the 5 to come on. the ultimate and extensive for serious muscular diseases such as rheumatism exercise is also good and important for that. but i also think a consultation is necessary there for a small co and hence the training has gotten nothing but benefits. and that the time and to keep going so long as my bones cooperate, preferably to tell him a days or whatever your age. here's an exercise for you to join in with from fitness trainer tim.

hi. today i have a great exercise which will activate your big like muscles and boost your whole cargo assistance. the exercise is called watch them. so place your feet, slice the modem, hips, why the part of the front of you squat. hold from here. and you left. ok. jump about the land. almost. no, it looks, tennessee is tennessee. that's why my tip stop is 10 repetitions at the beginning. if a few stronger to 20, this range, it's my recommendation. ok,

make sure you're nice pointing and a blending with soft please. this helps you to keep the control about it movement plus increasing the attention of your like muscles have fun trying that yourself. that's all for me in good shape this week. see you next time by the europe to save in 30 minutes dw, this utopia has a long way to go. near vienna,
