REPLAY: The Science Behind Power & Longevity with Dr. Sandro Freitas

When it comes to aging well, strength is only part of the equation. Research shows that power—the ability to produce force quickly—declines earlier and faster than strength or muscle mass. And that decline has important implications for how we move, function, and maintain independence as we age. In this webinar, we're joined by Dr. Sandro Freitas, professor at the University of Lisbon and a leading researcher behind the emerging concept of powerpenia, or the loss of muscle power. Together, we'll explore why power deserves a bigger role in longevity research, how to assess it, and what the latest science means for coaches, clinicians, and facility operators. We'll cover: Why power declines faster than strength and what that means for healthy aging The science behind powerpenia and its implications for long-term physical function How to measure and train power across different ages and ability levels What emerging research means for coaches and facilities working with longevity-focused clients Plus, we'll share a first look at the new Proteus Power & Longevity Report, designed to help translate power assessments into more meaningful, personalized insights. Join us for a research-backed conversation on why power isn't just about performance. It's about staying capable for life.
