| Consumer Summary: | KEY POINTS: The optimal prescription and precise recommendations of resistance training volume, considered by most experts to be a critical training variable, remain inconclusive for older adults. A low resistance training volume can substantially improve healthy older adults' physical function and benefits lean mass and muscle size independently of program duration. A higher volume seems to be necessary for achieving greater improvements in muscle strength in older adults independently of program duration. A low volume resistance training program should be recommended in future exercise guidelines, particularly for physically healthy older adults targeting healthy ageing. |
