Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to compare the impact of high- and low-intensity resistance exercise on force-velocity characteristics, muscle mass and inflammatory processes in older adults. As all training protocols are designed to end with maximal effort, effects are expected to be similar between groups.
