¿Por qué hay personas con 55 años que parece que tienen 60? ¿Y por qué hay otras que con 70 parecen tener 40? No es una cuestión de genética, ni tampoco es cuestión de suerte, sino más bien de capacidad. En concreto, es cuestión de cómo de rápido pierdes tus capacidades, porque cumplir años implica que cada vez el juego de la vida es un poquito más difícil, a menos que hagas lo que te voy a explicar hoy para revertir esto. Para empezar, cada persona puede decidir llevar la vida que quiera. Y ahí está la clave del envejecimiento, en las decisiones que se toman. Pero como digo siempre: Escoge el comportamiento y acepta las consecuencias. Porque es cierto que actualmente sin hacer nada especial, la esperanza de vida ha aumentado principalmente por motivos sanitarios, tecnológicos e higiénicos… PERO, lo que sí ha cambiado es la capacidad de manipular la velocidad del envejecimiento. La verdadera diferencia entre una persona que parece joven y otra que parece mucho mayor no suele estar en la fecha de nacimiento. Está en lo que su cuerpo todavía es capaz de hacer. Haz una prueba mental rápida. Piensa en cómo estabas hace diez años: ¿Te levantabas del suelo con más facilidad? ¿Subías escaleras sin pensarlo? ¿Podías cargar peso sin molestias? ¿Te sentías más ágil? ¿Tenías más energía? Si la respuesta es sí, entonces ya sabes exactamente de qué estoy hablando. Porque eso son capacidades. Y cuando las pierdes, empiezas a interpretar esa pérdida como envejecimiento. Los dos principales retos del envejecimiento: Osteoporosis y Sarcopenia Los dos grandes responsables de que pierdas tus capacidades con los años son dos procesos degenerativos de nuestro organismo: la osteoporosis y la sarcopenia. Casi todo el mundo sabe lo que es la osteoporosis porque ya hay una industria que se encarga cada año de gastarse miles de millones de dólares en que entendamos qué es, que le tengamos miedo y que, por supuesto, la combatamos con sus productos. Y no voy a decir qué industria es para que los de la leche no se me enfaden, pero es así. Sin embargo, lo curioso es que, aunque todo el mundo conozca la osteoporosis y casi nadie a la sarcopenia, ambas son primas hermanas porque son procesos de degeneración directos que se producen al ir cumpliendo años: La osteoporosis: Es la degeneración de la masa ósea. La sarcopenia: Es la degeneración de la masa muscular. La parte buena es que, aunque estos procesos no se pueden revertir por completo, sí que se pueden retrasar. Eso es lo que hace que una persona con 50 años parezca que tiene 30 y otra con 40 parezca que tiene 60. La diferencia radica exclusivamente en las decisiones que ha tomado cada uno de ellos con respecto a la osteoporosis y la sarcopenia. La encrucijada del envejecimiento: Dos caminos obligatorios Años vas a cumplir igual, por lo que te ves obligado a escoger entre dos caminos. No puedes escoger ir por los dos, ni tampoco puedes quedarte parado y no ir por ninguno. Tienes que decidir: Camino 1: Dejarse llevar y no hacer nada. En este caso, te beneficiarás de los avances médicos y de la farmacología, permitiéndote seguramente vivir una vida larga. Pero notarás que cada vez todo te cuesta un poquito más. Te dolerán las rodillas al subir las escaleras, no podrás cargar las bolsas de la compra, te dolerá la espalda al levantarte, dormirás fatal y engordarás más. Es el camino de los que dicen que todo esto es «cosa de la edad». Camino 2: Minimizar la osteoporosis y la sarcopenia. El camino de los que toman acción para blindar sus capacidades físicas y retrasar las consecuencias de la degradación ósea y muscular. El poder del entrenamiento de fuerza y musculación ¿Andar? ¿Zumba? ¿Pilates? ¿Cómo se minimizan realmente la osteoporosis y la sarcopenia? Con actividad física, especialmente entrenamiento de musculación. Si hubiera otra forma mejor, la diría. Si la zumba fuera mejor lo diría, si el spinning fuera mejor lo diría, si el pilates fuera mejor lo diría, si la natación fuera mejor lo diría. Pero es que lo mejor para fortalecer la musculatura y los huesos y, por tanto, retrasar la osteoporosis y la sarcopenia, es el entrenamiento de fuerza/musculación. Porque cuando aplicas entrenamientos de fuerza, lo que le estás diciendo al cuerpo es que debe preservar la masa muscular e incluso hacerla más fuerte y más grande. Y cuando haces esto, automáticamente todo lo demás mejora. Los beneficios metabólicos colaterales de entrenar fuerza: Mejor control del apetito y de la glucosa: Te haces más sensible a la insulina y puedes almacenar más glucógeno, lo que provoca que almacenes menos grasa y, por ende, engordes menos. Optimización de la tasa metabólica basal: Al preservar la masa muscular, usarás más calorías en reposo. No es una cantidad enorme, pero es muchísimo mejor que perder masa muscular y provocar que tu metabolismo disminuya de golpe. Si pierdes masa muscular (siguiendo el Camino 1), aunque sigas comiendo lo mismo que has comido toda la vida sin engordar, ahora vas a engordar. Pero no es por la edad; es porque has decidido tomar el camino 1. Si tomas el camino dos, no solamente no vas a perder capacidad metabólica con esas cantidades, sino que es posible que tengas que comer incluso más sin engordar, haciendo tu día a día mucho más placentero al poder disfrutar de cantidades más grandes de comida. Solo necesitas 3 horas a la semana Hablamos de algo que cualquiera puede conseguir entrenando 3 días por semana. No es necesario pasarse media vida en el gimnasio, son 3 horas a la semana. Probablemente menos. Todo el mundo tiene ese tiempo, pero es comprensible que no todo el mundo quiera hacerlo. De ahí el tema de que sea un camino que tienes que decidir tomar de forma consciente. Edad Cronológica frente a Edad Biológica ¿Por qué Wayne Rooney y Cristiano Ronaldo tienen la misma edad y Rooney parece el abuelo de Ronaldo? ¿Ha sido por suerte? ¿Por genética? ¿Por dinero? No, ha sido porque ambos han seguido estilos de vida muy diferentes. Eso es lo que separa de manera radical la edad cronológica (la que marca tu DNI) de la edad biológica (la que muestras al mundo). Y aunque hay muchos tests que te dicen cuál es tu edad biológica, la manera más honesta de medirla es mirarte en el espejo y preguntarte: ¿Cuántos años tendrías si no supieras los años que tienes? Eso es lo que separa a alguien que envejece muy rápido de alguien que parece que no envejece. No es el colágeno, no son las cremas, no son los retoques estéticos. Es la decisión de tomar el camino uno o el camino dos. La Curva de Joseph Signorile: Nunca es tarde para cambiar de camino La parte buena es que, aunque hasta ahora hayas ido por el camino uno, siempre tienes la opción de cambiarte al camino dos. La ciencia nos respalda a través de la curva de Joseph Signorile. Esta curva muestra cómo incluso una persona sedentaria que no haya hecho deporte nunca, empezando a entrenar fuerza en torno a los 40 años, puede conseguir que su envejecimiento se haga mucho más sostenido; casi parecido (aunque evidentemente no igual) al de una persona que lleva entrenando de forma constante desde su juventud. Escoge tu comportamiento y acepta las consecuencias Aquí están los datos, ahora te toca a ti escoger el camino que quieras. Porque escojas el camino que escojas, lo que es innegable es que envejecer es un premio, y es muchísimo mejor cumplir años que no cumplirlos. Pero asumiendo que los vas a cumplir, tú decides cómo quieres llevarlos. Como te dije al principio: escoge el comportamiento y acepta las consecuencias. Origen

When England flew to Germany for the 2006 World Cup, expectations were at fever pitch for a star-studded team led by David Beckham. The so-called Golden Generation was ready to deliver. But it never happened – instead came a series of heartbreaks and disappointments that left the fanbase in despair. Rick Edwards is joined by Sharon, Billy and Gary, three fans who probably suffered through more games than anyone else during the Golden Generation.

Arsenal suffered a dramatic 3–2 loss to Manchester United at the Emirates which raised serious questions about their title credentials. With Manchester City and Aston Villa both winning, Arsenal's lead at the top is now at just four points. Did Arsenal self-destruct in the second half? And with Pep Guardiola's City lurking, what does this mean for the title race?Tottenham's struggles continued with a 2–2 draw away at Burnley, leaving them just eight points above the relegation zone. Are Spurs genuinely in a relegation battle, and with pressure mounting on Thomas Frank, is he running out of time?Last week whilst on Champions League commentary, Theo Walcott asked Wayne Rooney whether the Man United 07/08 side could take on this season's Arsenal side which Rooney replied with no hesitation: ‘we'd batter them.' The boys compare both sides to ask if Wayne Rooney was right?Adam and Buvey are joined by Miles and Jordy to break it all down in the latest episode of The Club.

Thanks for listening and enjoy soccer heads!

We all spend a lot of time lamenting the cynical side of the modern game, but if there's an antidote, it's the weekend ahead of us. The FA Cup Third Round Proper is one for the romantics: the smallest clubs in the land can share a pitch with the biggest, and both sides can live a different football life for a day.Moss Rose was built in 1891 for Macclesfield Town, which was would-up in 2020 amid financial troubles. A phoenix club was born in the ashes and has risen from the ninth tier of the English football pyramid (the North West Counties Football League) to the sixth (the National League North) in next-to-no time. Now they've got their biggest match of the year on Saturday, as FA Cup holders and Premier League stalwarts Crystal Palace will come to a small ground south of Manchester to battle the Silkmen.In fact, says this week's guest, it's one of the biggest days in the combined history of Macclesfield Town and Macclesfield F.C. That guest is James Walker of The Silkmen News, a podcast and newsletter, and he also explained how new owner Robert Smethurst righted the ship with the help of his friend Robbie Savage after buying up the assets in an online liquidation sale. We also touched on how Wayne Rooney's brother, John, is doing this season having replaced Savage as manager having helped the club win promotion how non-league football is thriving these days, and how Macclesfield got their nickname.For our U.S. listeners, you can catch every FA Cup match this season on ESPN+Check out The Silkmen News on Spotify and Substack, and get more sharp coverage of the world's game at TheFootballWeekend.com ↗️ Hosted on Acast.

Good morning. Over New Year, two elite Premier League clubs decided being in the top six wasn't good enough, and they needed a new manager. One of them, Chelsea, has appointed the man currently in charge of Strasbourg, Liam Rosenior. Rosenior becomes one of only two Black managers among the 20 Premier League clubs—making him one of just 12 Black individuals to hold a managerial position in the Premier League since Ruud Gullit's appointment in 1996. 43 per cent of Premier League players are black. Yet a contrasting 97 per cent of their exec and non-exec leaders are white. Rosenior's demeanour taking up the role has been gracious. Unusually, he gave a press conference at the club he's left, thanking them for the opportunity and expressing his affection for the team. He has a history of writing a column for a national newspaper and raising issues of race and justice. Wayne Rooney's among those who've lauded his coaching style. I have a friend who, when he married a white woman, had to wait six years before he was welcomed in her parents' home. But I've never heard him utter a word of reproach or introduce race as a reason for any denial of opportunities elsewhere. By contrast I have another black friend who's repeatedly been subject to projections about her volatility, unreliability and lack of organisation, whereas I've always found her meticulously well prepared and even-tempered. We've often spoken about whether making a formal complaint would be wise or counterproductive. Last week the Australian cricketer Usman Khawaja, announcing his retirement, looked back over his 88-test career. He said, ‘I had to work harder than everyone else, score more runs than the rest, and make sure I didn't give them any excuse not to pick me.' Like my two friends, Liam Rosenior and Usman Khawaja have had to choose when to fight and call out, and when to put their head down and trust their own ability and the goodness of the system they're in. Jesus did both. He certainly preached humble faithfulness and self-denying sacrifice. But if that's all he'd said, he'd never have been crucified. He was crucified because he told the political and religious leaders of his time they were wrong about truth, about justice, and about God, and because he proclaimed and modelled a society where everyone belonged with one another and with him. For him, social change was about setting an outstanding example, but also taking the risk of directly and unflinchingly highlighting where that ideal was being blocked or subtly subverted. Two thousand years later, nothing much has changed.

Wayne Rooney, Kelly Somers and Kae Kurd sit down with Xavi Simons at Tottenham's training ground for a rare and revealing conversation.Xavi reflects on his journey from child prodigy with 2 million Instagram followers at 12, to international star navigating moves from the Netherlands to Barcelona, PSG, Leipzig and now London. He shares what it was like leaving Barça at 16, walking into a PSG dressing room with Neymar and Mbappé, and why Neymar became a mentor.He opens up about choosing Tottenham, his Premier League ambitions, and the player who's impressed him most in England. Plus, Wayne recalls Ruud van Nistelrooy's fiery clashes with Cristiano Ronaldo, his childhood idol Duncan Ferguson, and even the time Barcelona's goalkeeper drove over his foot.You can watch The Wayne Rooney Show on BBC Sport YouTube, iPlayer, as well as listen on BBC Sounds.

This week Sam & Natalie are joined by former Everton & Celtic defender...ALAN STUBBS!Alan Stubbs sits down alongside Sam Allardyce and Natalie Pike to discuss all things football from Celtic's turbulent start to the season to Everton's impressive performances with David Moyes.They start the pod by talking about Everton's recent results and whether they should've had a penalty against Arsenal before Alan tells the story of how he looked after a young Wayne Rooney including hiding him in his back seat away from paparazzi. The trio then chat in detail about Celtic's turbulent start to the season, Martin O'Neill's return to the club bringing stability and why Wilfried Nancy needs to get things right quickly in order to keep his job.Alan & Sam then discuss winning the Scottish Cup with Hibs, who wins the Scottish Premiership & could we see familiar faces returning to Celtic this season?Alan, Sam & Natalie then talk about Everton's season, how Alan convinced Grealish to join the club in Marbella & the one thing that Everton are missing.Finally we end the pod discussing Alan's toughest opponents and some of his more memorable teammates including why Paolo Di Canio loves karaoke.

Rio is back in the studio and joined by Joel Beya and Ste Howson where the trio reflect on Manchester United's 4-1 victory at Wolves and the latest developments following Mohamed Salah's outburst about his lack of playing time at Liverpool this season.After it was reported that manager Ruben Amorim left his players alone at half-time, Rio discusses the different tactics that managers use in order to effectively communicate their message and praises Mason Mount as United's yard-stick for players performing in the current system.Rio also suggests Kobbie Mainoo should push for a move away in January in order to not “waste” any more of his career and contrasts the comments made by former United winger Alejandro Garnacho who says it was an easy decision to leave the club because he has the “trust” of his new gaffer, Enzo Maresca.After admitting that Mohamed Salah should have articulated himself in a better way, Rio launches a defence of the record-breaking winger and suggests that established players like Virgil Van Dijk and Andy Robertson could play a vital role in rehabilitating Salah back into the squad - comparing his conversations with Wayne Rooney who spoke out against the manager when Rio was a senior player at Man Utd.

Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by ARNE.This week, Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Wayne Rooney, Roy Keane and Ian Wright are joined by one of the Premier League's greatest ever full backs, Ashley Cole, for a brilliant episode full of big reveals and funny moments.We start by looking back at Ashley's early days at Arsenal and how he went from a young prospect at Highbury to one of the best full backs we have ever seen. He talks about the ups and downs, the moments that shaped him and how a loan spell at Crystal Palace changed everything.The conversation then turns to coaching. Ashley talks about the work he has already done alongside Wayne and with England, and why he sees himself stepping into management sooner rather than later.We also revisit his incredible playing career, from the Invincibles and working under Arsene Wenger to joining Jose Mourinho's Chelsea team. Ash speaks openly about leaving Arsenal for Chelsea, one of the most talked about moves English football has ever seen, and the reaction that followed in the media and beyond.To finish, the table look back at England's golden generation. Why didn't that group achieve what many expected and was that England's best chance of winning something major?Where do you see Ashley Cole managing in the future?

We welcome back Sir Gareth Southgate to High Performance for his most open and reflective conversation yet. In this episode, Gareth breaks his silence on England's “almost” era, revealing the fear of failure, pressure of history, and fine margins that have shaped his time as manager. He discusses the burden of expectation, the culture of small daily habits and respect he's built, and the empathy and vulnerability that define his modern approach to leadership.From handling Wayne Rooney's retirement to protecting players from public scrutiny, Southgate opens up about the realities of leading under relentless pressure, the evolution of England's team culture, and what legacy truly means beyond trophies.This is a rare, honest conversation with one of football's most thoughtful leaders, about resilience, accountability, and what it really takes to lead a nation.

In the hot seat this week is Martyn Waghorn. Waghorn was a young pro at Sunderland during the time Browny was making waves on and off the pitch. Despite ‘looking after' Waghorn, Browny did forget to tip him for cleaning his boots so there is a score to settle right off the bat here. With a path into the first team blocked Waghorn dropped down to Leicester following a successful loan spell and got his first taste of first team football under Sven Goran Erikkson. When Rangers came knocking it was impossible not to jump at the move even though they were playing in Scottish Championship at the time, witnessing a true juxtaposition of playing at Ibrox to teams who rented out their local pitches after matches. Returning to England Waghorn got to play under footballing legends Frank Lampard and Wayne Rooney and encounter a serious array of young footballers coming through including the likes of Viktor Gyökeres, Mason Mount & Fikayo Tomori.

#934 | Ed and Dominic are back to pick through the debris — literal and metaphorical. From wild weather to the storm clouds still hovering over Manchester United, there's plenty to talk about ahead of the trip to Spurs. The pair dig into United's recent run under Rúben Amorim, what's clicking, what's not, and how the side might line up against Thomas Frank's Tottenham. There's chat about Wayne Rooney's latest foray into punditry (and his minor skirmish with Virgil van Dijk), as well as his future on the touchline. Ed and Dom also unpack Jason Wilcox's Inside Carrington interview - a rare look inside United's new football structure — before diving into transfer talk, academy prospects, and how January might reshape the squad. Expect thoughts on Rashford, Højlund, Šeško, and a few names who could be off to AFCON.
