Calculating your maximum strength accurately
This trial tests whether simple calculations can predict your maximum strength instead of doing heavy lifts. If you're in the right age group, you might help improve strength testing for everyone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 35 years old or between 60 and 85 years old.
- You don't have any injury or condition that makes it unsafe to lift a very heavy weight one time.
- You have no muscle or bone problems that could interfere with the strength tests.

This study tests a strength training program designed for older adults who are not currently active. The goal is to find the best way to improve strength and overall health in people over 65.
This study looks at how aging affects the way older adults respond to resistance training (exercises using weights or resistance bands). It compares two types of training to see which works better for improving mobility and strength.
This study checks if a simple strength test is reliable for people with heart conditions or risk factors. It aims to help doctors safely recommend exercise.
This study looks at how age affects muscle endurance during weight training, with and without a blood flow restriction cuff. You'll do simple exercises while researchers measure how long your muscles can keep going, which may help design better training for older adults.
This study tests whether short, intense strength exercises can help older adults build muscle and stay stronger. You'll do exercises designed to build power (the ability to move quickly and forcefully) over several weeks, and researchers will measure changes in your strength and daily function.
This study tests a personalized nutrition program for older adults to see if it can help maintain muscle strength and overall health. It looks at your grip strength, body mass index (BMI), where you live, and your cognitive ability.
