Velocity-Based Resistance Training Effects on Inflammation in Older Adults

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Aging, Inflammatory Response

In brief

This study aims to investigate the effects of resistance training (RT) with different training volumes on immune modulation and anti-inflammatory responses in older adults. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three RT volume groups (low, medium, or high) or a non-exercise control group. Participants in the training groups will complete a 4-week RT program, followed by a 4-week detraining phase. The findings are expected to provide evidence for volume-specific RT prescriptions to support healthy aging.
