Strength

Strength reflects the total minutes per week you spend in resistance-based exercise, such as weight training, bodyweight workouts or functional strength sessions, and is used to assess physical activity behaviour rather than a blood test. Strength supports muscle mass, metabolic rate, bone density and joint stability. Low strength levels are commonly associated with muscle loss (sarcopenia), insulin resistance, reduced mobility and higher injury risk over time. Higher strength engagement supports glucose regulation, balance and day-to-day energy, particularly with ageing. Because minutes alone do not capture load or progression, strength is best interpreted alongside body composition, aerobic activity levels, and metabolic markers such as fasting glucose (or HbA1c) to link training patterns with metabolic and functional outcomes.

What is Strength?

Strength measures the number of minutes you spend on resistance or strength-based activities each week. These may include bodyweight exercises, weightlifting, Pilates, or functional movements that improve muscle endurance and performance.

Why does it matter for long-term health and wellbeing?

Maintaining muscle strength supports your body’s energy use, joint stability, and daily mobility. It also contributes to healthier ageing by helping preserve muscle mass and balance over time.

What’s an optimal level of Strength?

  • Optimal range (100%): 105+ minutes per week
  • Typical range:
    • 20% = None
    • 40% = 0–29 mins
    • 60% = 30–49 mins
    • 80% = 50–104 mins
    • 100% = 105+ mins

What influences Strength levels?

Your training frequency, intensity, rest, nutrition, and recovery all influence strength outcomes. Factors such as progressive overload, adequate protein intake, and sufficient sleep play major roles in maintaining strong, functional muscles.

What does it mean if Strength is outside the optimal range?

Low strength minutes may indicate limited resistance activity, which can affect muscle efficiency and daily physical performance. Higher levels typically reflect consistent and balanced training patterns.

How can I support healthy Strength levels?

Include two to three resistance sessions weekly, covering major muscle groups. Use a mix of bodyweight, free weights, or resistance bands, and aim for consistent progression in load or repetitions. Balance training with recovery, hydration, and nutrient-rich meals.
