Phase 2
Completed
- Conditions
- Elderly
- Interventions
- Behavioral: exercise training
- Registration Number
- NCT01752816
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Southern Denmark
- Brief Summary
In healthy young subjects a single bout of strength training following endurance training has been shown to improve markers for aerobic capacity in muscle compared to a single bout of endurance training alone. The present project tests the hypothesis: 12 weeks of training with sessions of endurance training followed by strength training is superior to endurance training alone for health participants 50-65 years of age. The outcome measures are maximal oxygen uptake and knee-extension strength.
