Potential Benefits of a Minimal Dose Eccentric Resistance Training Paradigm to Combat Sarcopenia and Age-Related Muscle and Physical Function Deficits in Older Adults
- MedicineFrontiers in Physiology
- 2021
The implications of using a minimal dose, submaximal (i.e., low intensity) multi-joint eccentric resistance training paradigm as a potentially effective, and yet currently underutilized, means to efficiently improve neuromuscular capacities and function for older adults are discussed.

A meta-regression of the effects of resistance training frequency on muscular strength and hypertrophy in adults over 60 years of age
- EducationJournal of sports sciences

Considering that muscle hypertrophy was not affected, while maximum strength was only slightly improved with additional training days, it seems unlikely that more than two weekly resistance training sessions would provide any further benefits for older adults.
Effects of High-Speed Versus Traditional Resistance Training in Older Adults

Both TRT and HST are able to promote improvements in functional performance in the elderly with greater in strength gains for TRT, providing important insights into how health care professionals can prescribe HST andTRT, considering efficiency, safety, and individual aspects.
Resistance Training Frequency Confers Greater Muscle Quality in Aged Individuals: A Brief NHANES Report
- MedicineJCSM Clinical Reports
- 2018
The hypothesis that greater MQ in older individuals is associated with RT frequency is tested, which indicates it is a more influential variable underlying age‐related declines in muscle function than losses in muscle mass.
Improvement of cellular health indicators and muscle quality in older women with different resistance training volumes

The aim of this study is to compare the effect of VT and RT in older people with sarcopenia on muscle mass, muscle strength, physical performance, blood biomarkers, and quality of life.
Exercise and Protein Supplementation for Prevention and Treatment of Sarcopenia

Appropriately dosed exercise and dietary interventions improve muscle mass and function in sarcopenic adults, whether sarcopenia can be “cured” through these interventions, or if improved function and prevention of further declines should be the treatment goal.

In order to stimulate further adaptation toward a specific training goal(s), progression in the type of resistance training protocol used is necessary and emphasis should be placed on multiple-joint exercises, especially those involving the total body.
