Because rate of force development (RFD) is an emerging outcome measure for the
assessment of neuromuscular function in unfatigued conditions, and it represents a valid …

Reduced levels of functional capacity in older adults are related to lower quality of life, frailty,
and sarcopenia, and can increase risk of falling, fractures and hospitalisation. Resistance …

Resistance training frequencies of 3 and 6 times per week produce similar muscular …

Strength training can improve myriad health parameters in elderly cohorts. Although
potentially more appropriate for the elderly, low-load resistance training protocols have been …

The aim of this study was to compare if an acute exercise session of high-load resistance
training (HL-RT, eg 70% of 1 repetition-maximum, 1 RM) induces a higher magnitude of …

Introduction Resistance training can induce skeletal muscle hypertrophy and strength gains,
but is also associated with acute muscle damage, characterised by muscle soreness …

Background Resistance exercise is recommended for maintaining muscle mass and
strength in older adults. However, little is known about exercise-induced muscle damage …

Introduction Resistance exercise has been shown to improve muscle health in older adults
and is recommended as a front-line treatment for many health conditions, including …

Functional resistance training can increase strength, knee torque ratio, and functional
performance in elderly women. The aim of the present study was to understand the effects of …
