Official Title: A Tailored Intervention to Prevent Age-Related Declines in Muscle Power and Functional Ability
Brief Summary:
Preserving functional ability is crucial for healthy aging.Unfortunately, age-related decreases in muscle power often lead to declines in functional ability.As power is the product of force and velocity, decreases in power can originate from changes in muscle force, contraction velocity, or both, varying between individuals.The primary method to prevent functional disability is power-based resistance training.Although training interventions are effective for most older adults, they do not induce substantial…
