简要总结
The goal of this study is to understand the effects of muscle strengthening and stretching exercise intervention on isometric muscle strength, joint flexibility and running biomechanical patterns in older recreational runners. To do so, the subjects will be assessed before and after they engage in a 8-week exercise intervention program.
