Abstract Fragala, MS, Cadore, EL, Dorgo, S, Izquierdo, M, Kraemer, WJ, Peterson, MD, and
Ryan, ED. Resistance training for older adults: position statement from the national strength …

Sarcopenia is a major component of the frailty syndrome, both being considered as strong
predictors of morbidity, disability, and death in older people. In this review, we explore the …

Background Resistance training (RT) is an intervention frequently used to improve muscle
strength and morphology in old age. However, evidence-based, dose–response …

Aging is associated with declines in the neuromuscular and cardiovascular systems,
resulting in an impaired capacity to perform daily activities. Frailty is an age-associated …

We examined the neuromuscular adaptations following 3 and 6 weeks of 80 vs. 30% one
repetition maximum (1RM) resistance training to failure in the leg extensors. Twenty-six men …

Physical activity is associated with greater independence in old age. However, little is known
about the effect of physical activity level and activity type on activities of daily living (ADL) …

Objective To examine the effects of 12 weeks of high-speed resistance training (RT) versus
low-speed RT on muscle strength [one repetition of maximum leg-press (1RM LP) and …

Muscle quality is an important component of the functional profile of the elderly, and
previous studies have shown that both muscle quantity and quality independently contribute …

Background Effective manipulation of the acute variables of resistance training is critical to
optimizing muscle and functional adaptations in middle-aged and older adults. However, the …

Purpose This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to analyze the effects of resistance
training (RT) and to compare the different RT prescriptions, sample characteristics, and …
