About

This study evaluate whether resistance training variables modulate the fatigability (power-duration relationship) and physical performance in adults and older adults

Full description

The resistance training variables manipulation is utilized for maximize the results of resistance training. However it is unclear whether the resistance training variables manipulation modulates the fatigability (i.e. power-duration relationship) and whether this explains the improvement on physical performance (i.e. gait speed, sit-to-stand and timed up and go tests).

Trial design

Primary purpose: Prevention

Allocation: Randomized

Interventional model: Parallel Assignment

Masking: None (Open label)

---

80 participants in 4 patient groups

Lower load resistance training (LL)

Experimental group

Description:

In the LL group, postmenopausal women will perform the resistance training with moderate volume (i.e. three sets per exercise performed until or close to failure) and low load (i.e. 30% of 1RM)

Treatment:

Other: Resistance training, LL

Higher load resistance training (HL)

Experimental group

Description:

In the HL group, postmenopausal women will perform the resistance training with moderate volume (i.e. three sets per exercise performed until or close to failure) and high load (i.e. 80% of 1RM)

Treatment:

Other: Resistance training, HL

Higher volume resistance training (HVHL)

Experimental group

Description:

In the HVHL group, postmenopausal women will perform the resistance training with high volume (i.e. six sets per exercise performed until or close to failure) and high load (i.e. 80% of 1RM)

Treatment:

Other: Resistance training, HVHL

Control group, (CG)

Other group

Description:

In CG, the postmenopausal women group will not perform exercise

Treatment:

Other: Control group, CG
