However, to our knowledge, the chronic effects of RT with different training loads and repetitions performed until failure on BP in older women are less understood. Although a correlation between the

The aim of this study was to measure the change in running performance in a runner from age 27–64 years. During this time the runner had a history of high-volume training and racing. The change in his average running speed over 10-, 21.1-, 42.2-, and 90-km races was compared with the changes in the age-group records for each distance. He trained an average of 4,051 ± 1,762 km/year and ran 16,604 km during races. His training load reached a peak of 7,596 km/year at the age of 33. His rate of decline in running performance was higher than the expected age decline at 47 years for 10-km, 47 years for 21.1-km, 40 years for the 42.2-km, and 48 years for 90-km races. Decreases in performance with increasing age could be explained by reduced training volume, or, alternatively, high volumes of training and racing might accelerate the normal age-related decrements in running performance.

While maximal strength testing per se is safe and acceptable for older adults ( Alcazar, Guadalupe-Grau, Garcia

Moreover, the participants were also free to terminate an exercise session at any time upon request. Hence, the decision to initiate, terminate, or
Effects of Resistance Training With Machines and Elastic Tubes on Functional Capacity and Muscle Strength in Community-Living Older Women: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Thus, the aim of the present study is to compare the effects of two RT protocols on muscle strength and functional performance in community-living older women. Our hypothesis was that the elastic training program would demonstrate similar effects to

participated in at least seven of 12 matches during a 12-week intervention ( Reddy et al., 2017 ). Therefore, there is scope to expand on these findings, as well as investigate other measures of exercise intensity. The monitoring of internal training loads, using methods including HR and RPE, is commonplace in

In the present study, exercise intensity was prescribed based on the percentages of 1RM, a more objective form to assess training loads during RE.

Subsequent training loads were guided by the participants’ subjective feedback using the OMNI resistance exercise scale ( Gearhart et al., 2009 ) and “repetitions in reserve” ( Helms et al., 2016 ).

“traditional” training approach produces a “supply-side central-brake” on peripheral tissue perfusion and therefore training load. PRIME removes this limitation and allows individual tissue beds to work to their own perfusion and oxidative capacities. Blood Pressure Meta-analyses confirm the BP
