Fatigability and Physical Performance: Effects of Resistance Training Variables Manipulation

Fatigability and Physical Performance: Effects of Resistance Training Variables Manipulation

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

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).
