Quantifying the Trainability of Peripheral Nerve Function in Young and Older Adults.

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Nerve Degeneration, Healthy Aging

In brief

The purpose of this project is to identify the effects of hand grip resistance training on nerve speed of the hand muscles and to quantify whether age plays a role in those effects. Two groups (young and older adults) underwent a 4-week resistance training intervention with nerve conduction velocity measured before and after. There were also two control groups (young and older adults) who performed the testing 4 weeks apart, but did not engage in the intervention.
