比賽以六角槓鈴硬舉為挑戰項目,每位參賽者最多可挑戰3次,依個人能力選擇重量,並由專業教練及醫護人員在場協助把關安全。競賽設有「爆發神力獎」與「鋼鐵耐力獎」,分別以單次最高成功舉起重量及3次成功重量總和評比,讓長者不只挑戰重量,更能看見自己的訓練成果。
競賽結果,長輩們展現令人驚豔的肌力,女子組由「活力體驗組」許雪娥成功挑戰90公斤,寫下女子組單次最高公斤數;男子組由「神力大師組」鄭錫江成功舉起105公斤,創下男子組最高成績。
此外,高齡91歲的蘇楊娘成功挑戰40公斤;96歲的施金枝更舉起45公斤,兩人皆為「神力大師組」參賽者,秀出高齡長者不容小覷的肌力與活力。這群銀髮力士以實際行動打破「年紀大不能做重訓」的刻板印象,平日訓練有成,證明年齡不是追求健康與挑戰自我的限制,為健康老化與活躍老化寫下最佳註解。
