Effects of movement velocity and training frequency of resistance exercise on functional performance in older adults: a randomised controlled trial

Abstract: Possibly due to the lower intensity nature of the HVLL conditions, LVHL, twice-weekly was most beneficial for improving functional performance and strength in moderately-highly active older adults. Therefore, we recommend that exercise professionals ensure resistance exercise sessions have sufficient intensity of effort and volume, in order to maximise functional performance and strength gains in older adults.

“…Although 1RM gains have been similar and, in some cases, higher than those reported in previous high-velocity RT studies with older adults [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 ], the total number of repetitions performed in the leg-press and chest-press was inferior compared to all studies. Based on the study duration, sessions per week, sets, and repetitions performed in only one exercise, a total number of repetitions between 600 and 1056 in the chest-press [ 10 , 11 , 36 , 37 , 39 , 41 , 42 ] and leg-press [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 ] was performed in these studies, which means ~50% more than the total repetitions performed in our study. Therefore, these results suggest that a low volume is as effective as a high volume for improving 1RM strength in older adults.…”

“…As a main limitation, it is remarkable that handgrip strength was the only physical tests that did not reach a significant change, which may be a consequence of the inadequate intensity and volume in upper body exercises (Richardson et al, 2019) or because of the short duration of the intervention. Furthermore, it must be acknowledged that these are partial results from an ongoing randomized control trial (Courel-Ibáñez & Pallarés, 2019).…”

“…However, the local muscular fatigue induced by low intensity contractions to failure might be more pronounced in older individuals [22,23], conceivably leading to lower training volumes than would be accumulated with moderate-or high-load RE. In addition, high-load RE may be superior in improving functional performance than low-load RE, as measured by 30-second chair stand performance, arm curl and grip strength [24]. Finally, research suggests that PCaP report higher training intensities than objectively measured [25], indicating a need for objective measurement of the administered training intensity, in order to provide effective stimuli.…”
