Fatigability and Physical Performance: Effects of Resistance Training Variables Manipulation
- 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).

- INTERVENTIONAL
- Study Design
- PARALLEL
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Fatigability Changes 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
Name Time Method Physical Performance Changes 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).
