Fatigability and Physical Performance: Effects of Resistance Training Variables Manipulation

Not Applicable
Conditions
Aging
Registration Number
NCT03619070
Lead Sponsor
Universidade Federal do Triangulo Mineiro
Brief Summary

This study evaluate whether resistance training variables modulate the fatigability (power-duration relationship) and physical performance in adults and older adults

Detailed Description

The resistance training variables manipulation is utilized for maximize the results of resistance training. However it is unclear whether the resistance training variables manipulation modulates the fatigability (i.e. power-duration relationship) and whether this explains the improvement on physical performance (i.e. gait speed, sit-to-stand and timed up and go tests).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
FatigabilityChanges in fatigability measure (e.g. baseline and after 12 weeks of intervention)

The fatigability will be evaluate by 60 maximum voluntary isometric contractions (3 s contraction, 2 s rest) in knee extensors at 70 degree.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Physical PerformanceChanges in physical performance measure (e.g. baseline and after 12 weeks of intervention)

The physical performance will be evaluate by gait speed tests (e.g. 10m walking at usual and fast pace, 400m walk at usual and fast pace).
