Background Resistance training (RT) has been investigated as a potential intervention
strategy for improving muscle function, but the effects on lower-extremity muscle power in …

Background Effects of resistance training on muscle strength and hypertrophy are well
established in adults and younger elderly. However, less is currently known about these …

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

Rapid force capacity, identified by rate of rise in contractile force at the onset of contraction,
ie, the rate of force development (RFD), has been considered an important neuromuscular …

Purpose This study aimed to analyze the effect of resistance training (RT) performed until
volitional failure with low, moderate, and high loads on muscle hypertrophy and muscle …

The purpose of the present study was to perform a meta‐analysis to compare the efficacy of
heavy (∼ 80% of one repetition maximum, 1 RM) vs light‐moderate load (∼ 45% 1 RM) …

PURPOSE: The effectiveness of resistance exercise for strength improvement among aging
persons is inconsistent across investigations, and there is a lack of research synthesis for …

Power training has been suggested to be effective in improving strength, power, and
functional capacity in older adults. However, there is still a lack of systematic investigations …
