Background Aging is associated with reduced muscle mass and strength leading to
impaired physical function. Resistance training programs incorporated into older adults' real …

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of a 10‐week strength training intervention
on isometric strength, rate of force development (RFD), physical function (stair climbing …

Home‐based resistance exercise is commonly used for individuals who might not have
access or the ability to use traditional resistance exercise. However, the extent to which …

Frailty is associated with negative health outcomes, disability, and mortality. Physical activity
is an effective intervention to improve functional health status. However, the effect of …

Purpose. To compare the effectiveness of home-and group-based, progressive resistance
training programs and a group walking program in improving functional performance in …

Background Physical inactivity and low muscle mass are risk factors for falls, fractures and
overall poor health. However, physical activity is reduced with increased age and only a …

In an attempt to define feasible means to improve compliance with current recommendations
on resistance training in older subjects, published evidence on the efficacy and safety of …

Older adults are challenged with aging-related declines in skeletal muscle mass and
function. Although exercise interventions of longer duration typically yield larger changes …

OBJECTIVE: To provide a synthesis of the evidence from clinical trials to determine whether
progressive resistance training, as a single exercise intervention, improves strength and …

The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy and feasibility of a resistancetraining (RT)
and lifestyle-activity program for sedentary older adults. Eligible participants (N= 44) were …
