Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
1. Compare the effects of low-dose Maximal Intent and Controlled Tempo Resistance Training on untrained healthy older adults' quality-of-life, functional capacity, and strength.
2. Qualitatively explore perceptions of Maximal Intent and Controlled Tempo Resistance Training in older adults.
Older adults are defined as being 60 or more years of age.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Maximal-intent Resistance Training - 3x5 (MI3x5)
The max-intent group were instructed and encouraged to deliberately commit to exerting maximal effort and force during the concentric phase of the leg press with the intention of achieving the greatest velocity possible. This group completed 3 sets of 5 repetitions at 60% one-repetition maximum.
Leg Press Resistance Training (3x5)
Leg Press resistance training at 60% one-rep-max for three sets of five repetitions
Maximal-intent Resistance Training - 5x5 (MI5x5)
The max-intent group were instructed and encouraged to deliberately commit to exerting maximal effort and force during the concentric phase of the leg press with the intention of achieving the greatest velocity possible. This group completed 5 sets of 5 repetitions at 60% one-repetition maximum.
Leg Press Resistance Training (5x5)
Leg Press resistance training at 60% one-rep-max for five sets of five repetitions
Controlled-tempo Resistance Training - 3x5 (CT3x5)
The controlled-tempo group followed a metronome for both eccentric and concentric phases of the leg press with the intention of maintaining a steady three-second concentric and three-second eccentric. This group completed 3 sets of 5 repetitions at 60% one-repetition maximum.
Leg Press Resistance Training (3x5)
Leg Press resistance training at 60% one-rep-max for three sets of five repetitions
Controlled-tempo Resistance Training - 5x5 (CT5x5)
The controlled-tempo group followed a metronome for both eccentric and concentric phases of the leg press with the intention of maintaining a steady three-second concentric and three-second eccentric. This group completed 5 sets of 5 repetitions at 60% one-repetition maximum.
Leg Press Resistance Training (5x5)
Leg Press resistance training at 60% one-rep-max for five sets of five repetitions
