“…Similar results were observed in an investigation that analyzed the effect of resistance training on functional parameters in sedentary older women (68.4 years ± 5.2 years).Significant improvements were found in the 10 m walk test (6.5 ± 1.2 vs. 5.8 ± 1.1 s; p = 0.001), get up from sitting position (8.6 ± 2.3 vs. 6.9 ± 1.4 s; p = 0.001), getting up from a chair in 30 s (19.5 ± 5.0 vs. 23.8 ± 5.3 repetitions; p = 0.001), putting on and taking off a t-shirt (9.7 ± 1.8 vs. 9.0 ± 1.9 s; p = 0.025), and getting up from the prone position (3.6 ± 1.0 vs. 3.3 ± 0.9 s; p = 0.003) after 10 weeks of intervention [ 32 ].…”

To evaluate the effects of two programs (resistance and walking training) on the functional autonomy and muscle strength (isometric and dynamic) of older women, 67 subjects were divided randomly into three groups: resistance training (RTG; Mean = 64.70 ± 6.74 years), walking (WG, Mean = 65.56 ± 7.82 years), and control (CG; Mean = 64.81 ± 4.34). The experimental groups underwent a 16-week intervention. Muscle strength (isometric and dynamic) and functional autonomy were assessed. The subjects participating in the RTG showed improvements in the comparison pre to post-test in the maximal forces of upper limb (MULS) (Δ% = 49.48%; p = 0.001) and lower limb (MLLS) (Δ% = 56.70%; p = 0.001), isometric biceps forces (BIS) (Δ% = 30.13%; p = 0.001) and quadriceps forces (QIS) (Δ% = 65.92%; p = 0.001), and in the general index (GI) of functional autonomy (Δ% = −18.32%; p = 0.002). The WG improved in all functional autonomy tests, except for the standing up from prone position test (SVDP). In strength tests, the WG obtained improvements only in the QIS (Δ% = 41.80%; p = 0.001) and MLLS (Δ% = 49.13%; p = 0.001) tests. The RTG obtained better results (p < 0.05) when compared to the WG and CG. The results allow us to infer that resistance exercise programs are more effective in increasing strength and functional autonomy, a fact that may mitigate the deleterious effects on health of aging.

“…The bench press has been the most used exercise to explore the load-velocity relationship (García-Ramos et al, 2018b; García-Ramos, Suzovic & Pérez-Castilla, 2019; Loturco et al, 2017; Sánchez-Medina et al, 2014; Torrejon et al, 2018). The popularity of the bench press is justified because it is one of the most effective exercises for improving upper-body strength and power (Castillo et al, 2012) and it is also commonly used by older individuals during their resistance training programs (Fatouros et al, 2005; Bavaresco Gambassi et al, 2019). Strong relationships between movement velocity and the %1RM have been reported for the bench press exercise irrespective of whether the exercise was performed in a Smith machine ( r 2 = 0.97) or with a free-weight barbell ( r 2 = 0.96) (Loturco et al, 2017).…”

“…A cross-sectional study was designed to determine whether movement velocity is a useful variable for estimating the relative load (%1RM) during the bench press and leg press exercises in older women. The bench press and leg press exercises were chosen because they are two of the exercises most commonly used by older people to increase upper- and lower-body strength, respectively (Fatouros et al, 2005; Bavaresco Gambassi et al, 2019). Following two familiarization sessions with both exercises (participants performed repetitions against different external loads to ensure a proper technique during the experimental sessions), participants came to the laboratory on two more occasions separated by 48–72 h. The bench press and leg press exercises were performed in different sessions in a randomized order.…”

BackgroundMovement velocity has been proposed as an effective tool to prescribe the load during resistance training in young healthy adults. This study aimed to elucidate whether movement velocity could also be used to estimate the relative load (i.e., % of the one-repetition maximum (1RM)) in older women.MethodsA total of 22 older women (age = 68.2 ± 3.6 years, bench press 1RM = 22.3 ± 4.7 kg, leg press 1RM = 114.6 ± 15.9 kg) performed an incremental loading test during the free-weight bench press and the leg press exercises on two separate sessions. The mean velocity (MV) was collected with a linear position transducer.ResultsA strong linear relationship between MV and the relative load was observed for the bench press (%1RM = −130.4 MV + 119.3;r2= 0.827, standard error of the estimate (SEE) = 6.10%1RM,p< 0.001) and leg press exercises (%1RM = −158.3 MV + 131.4;r2= 0.913, SEE = 5.63%1RM,p< 0.001). No significant differences were observed between the bench press and leg press exercises for the MV attained against light-medium relative loads (≤70%1RM), while the MV associated with heavy loads (≥80%1RM) was significantly higher for the leg press.ConclusionsThese results suggest that the monitoring of MV could be useful to prescribe the loads during resistance training in older women. However, it should be noted that the MV associated with a given %1RM is significantly lower in older women compared to young healthy individuals.

“…The domain most affected by aging is neuromuscular capacity, which can eventually lead to sarcopenia [9]. Physical exercise is already well established in the literature as a primary intervention for the elderly [10] to combat neuromuscular decline [11]. Specific protocols for neuromuscular training in the elderly have been published, highlighting several essential aspects for this class of activity [12].…”

“…Specific protocols for neuromuscular training in the elderly have been published, highlighting several essential aspects for this class of activity [12]. Alongside the neuromuscular, other physiological systems also require thorough attention in the elderly, such as the cardiovascular and cardiorespiratory systems, and physical training is key to promoting better conditioning across these domains [13,14], especially in the older adult population [10,11].…”

This paper investigated the effects over time of different forms of neuromuscular training on hemodynamic responses, the estimated VO2max, and walking performance. 105 older adults were randomly organized into three groups: RGA, RGB, and the Control Group (CG). RGA and RGB did 4 weeks of adaptation phase training and 12 weeks of intervention with different loads: moderate loads for RGB. and higher loads for RGA. A pre- and post-evaluation of the resting heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), double product (DP), estimated VO2max, and walking performance were assessed. Significant differences were observed for SBP, DBP, HR, and DP. For SBP, a post-evaluation reduction was observed only in RGA (p = 0.007) and when comparing RGA with the Control Group (p < 0.000). For the absolute VO2max, a significant improvement was seen in RGB compared to RGA (p = 0.037) and CG (p < 0.000). For the relative VO2max, RGB scored significantly higher than RGA (p < 0.000) and CG (p < 0.000), post-intervention. For the walk test, a significant reduction in completion times was observed for RGA (p = 0.027) and RGB (p < 0.000), and for RGB compared to RGA (p = 0.000) and CG (p < 0.000). Resistance training can be an excellent strategy for hemodynamic and cardiorespiratory improvement in the elderly.
