Great synthesis of the research here! The cognitive preservation benefits from resistance training are often underlooked compared to cardio. I've been doing progressive calisthenics for a few years now since a shoulder injury made barbells dicey, and honestly the functional strength gains from bodyweight work surprise me. The point about just 30-60 mins weekly for max benefits is huge for adherence too.
Excellent advice!
Filing this for reference for my next post on fitness after prostate cancer
I'll look forward to reading that post, Anthony.

I'm glad that the info resonated with you. And that you found a way to keep exercising even after an injury.
