Does high-frequency resistance exercise offer additional benefits to older adults? learnings from a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Resistance exercise is an effective strategy to improve muscle strength in older adults. A limited-load resistance would be flexible and suitable for community-based training. It was unclear whether high-frequency resistance exercise offer additional benefits to older adults. Here, we aimed to examine the effect of limited-load resistance exercise among different frequency on muscle parameters in older adults.

Methods

The current study was a single-blind, randomized controlled trial comparing the effectiveness of different-frequency resistance exercise in older adults. Change in skeletal muscle was estimated with a multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analyzer. Demographics, physical examination, nutritional assessment, prealbumin and lymphocytes were also measu
