Most of the hearsay about limiting workout length is based on studies that were done on hard cardio workouts. Comparing to this type of strength training is apples and oranges, as your intensity is much higher and you rest between sets. Also keep in mind that the difference between 45 minutes and 60 minutes isn't that great - we're not talking about several ...

Alternate, probably not, but that all depends on what your goals are. If you want to be strong powerlifter, you want to be lifting almost all the time. If you just want to keep fit and like a change, sure stop lifting for a week and just do yoga then switch back. its your body and routine.
However, this isn't to say Yoga isn't a great supplement to most ...

I think both 1 and 2 would be helpful, and your training plan should include both.
In exercise 1, you are working on your endurance, similar to the long run that most runners do about once a week. By going slowly, you'll stimulate the growth of more capillaries, which will become new pathway for delivering oxygen to your muscles. In time, you'll be able to ...

I cannot provide a link to an official analysis of the training/instruction program of an elite military facility. What I can do is tell you of my own personal experience with it.
You mentioned the lack of regeneration and rest, and you are absolutely right. The idea behind the selection process is to completely maim you psychologically and put you to the ...

The other is muscular endurance, which is the ability of a muscle to do work without fatiguing.
Cardiovascular endurance is stressed by ...

Both of these tools seem to primarily track power output over time. Per Peter Drucker, measuring power output will help improve it. So, this may help you improve that metric (within your physical abilities). Note that the programming for the MyoTest and Tendo Unit is for only a limited set of exercises and lifts.
On the other hand, this probably won't help ...

The shortest answer to your question is yes. Seniors are more likely to have injuries, general weakness, or other extenuating health conditions due to their age or other activities when they were younger. More care has to be taken toward the beginning of their journey, but once they get started it will drastically improve their quality of life. That said, ...

Ask yourself this question:
What's the likelihood of re-injuring the finger?
The finger will take as long as it takes to get better, and running isn't going to change that significantly enough to worry about it if at all. As long as there is a low likelihood that you are going to hurt the finger again doing any activity, there is no reason to avoid ...

The answer to your question lies in how you feel. If you feel run down, unmotivated, and you have to drag yourself to train, you are probably doing a bit much. It's natural not to be 100% when you are cutting fat, but when motivation suffers it's a symptom of over-training. The lifting portion of the program looks pretty decent, and there are a couple ...
