Power Training Study for Adults Over 65
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
