Charles Eugster er en pensioneret tandl\u00e6ge\u00a0f\u00f8dt i 1919 i London, England. Det er dog en fortalelse at kalde ham pensionist p\u00e5 trods af, at han nu er 97 \u00e5r.<\/p>\n

Efter at v\u00e6re distraheret af at opbygge og udvikle sin tandl\u00e6gepraksis\u00a0inds\u00e5 Dr. Eugster, at han var alt for stillesiddende. Han genfandt\u00a0sit atletiske konkurrence-gen som 63-\u00e5rig, og begyndte at konkurrere i roning – og har sidenhen vundet et v\u00e6ld af masters konkurrencer.<\/p>\n

What people do not realise is that if you do endurance training such as walking or cycling \u2013 which is often recommended for older people \u2013 that does not combat sarcopenia, which is a loss of muscle mass, loss of power, loss of strength. So as my rowing was just an endurance sport, despite the fact that I was training six days a week, my body deteriorated. And now we know that in order to be physically active in old age, you must do muscle training \u2013 and I don\u2019t just mean resistance training, I mean hypertrophy training \u2013 which means training the muscles to exhaustion or failure.<\/p>\n

– Charles Eugster til The Telegraph<\/em> i 2015<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Som 87-\u00e5rig startede han bodybuilding for at genopbygge sine muskler da han fandt, at han ikke havde kunnet holde p\u00e5 sin muskelmasse ved blot at ro.<\/p>\n

95-\u00e5r ung\u00a0fandt han\u00a0udfordring i at deltage i atletik, og har sidenhen vundet Britisk-, EM- og VM- titler\u00a0p\u00e5 flere sprintdistancer i sin aldersklasse. Han er indehaver af verdensrekorder p\u00e5 200m og 400m distancen for 95+ atleter.<\/p>\n

Jeg blev faktisk f\u00f8rst opm\u00e6rksom p\u00e5 Charles Eugsters eksistens, da jeg faldt over hans forel\u00e6sning ved TEDx Talks i Zurich 2012, som er tilg\u00e6ngelig p\u00e5 Youtube. Det budskab han leverede p\u00e5 mindre end et kvarter er i sandhed inspirerende – men jeg var endnu mere imponeret over den m\u00e5de han form\u00e5ede at levere budskabet, i en alder af 93 \u00e5r. Klippet skal ses – klik her<\/a>!<\/p>\n

For mere inspiration er det muligt at se ham tr\u00e6ne her<\/a>, eller se ham s\u00e6tte indend\u00f8rs verdensrekord p\u00e5 200m\u00a0som 95-\u00e5rig her<\/a>.<\/p>\n
