Strength Training Study for Adults 65 and Older
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years old or older.
- You are not very active (less than 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week) and do not currently do strength training.
- You plan to live in the area for the whole study.
- You do not have serious heart, lung, or memory problems that would make exercise unsafe.

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 looks at how different older adults respond to exercise. It will help researchers understand why some people benefit more than others. You will be asked to do supervised exercise sessions and tests over about 6 months.
This study tests whether a personalized exercise program can help older adults age better. It is for people who are 60+ and have some mild issues with mobility, thinking, or mood, but are otherwise healthy enough to exercise safely.
This study tests whether a resistance training program (like lifting weights) combined with a supplement can improve heart, lung, and metabolic health in older adults. The goal is to find ways to help seniors stay healthier and more active.
This study tests whether a specific type of strength training reduces inflammation in the body for adults aged 60–75. Researchers will measure how your body responds to this training over time.
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.
