Synopsis

Forty elderly men were included in this study comparing power training plus high intensity interval training vs traditional strength training combined with high intensity interval training for the improvement of muscle function, morphology, and cardiovascular fitness. Primary outcomes of interest included 1 rep max in the knee extension and leg press exercises, rate of force development, and absol...
