Higher muscle power training volume is not determinant for the magnitude of neuromuscular improvements in elderly women
Experimental Gerontology May 25, 2018
Radaelli R, et al. - In healthy elderly women, researchers compared the impacts of 12-weeks of muscle power training using one- and three-sets on neuromuscular adaptations. Both before and after training, they assessed the following: maximal dynamic and isometric strength, rapid force assessed as absolute and normalized rate of force development (RTD) and contractile impulse during unilateral leg knee extension at 0–50 and 0–200 ms, overall quadriceps muscle thickness, muscle power during a countermovement jump (CMJ), and functional performance using time-up-and-go and the timed stair climb tests. The observed improvements in muscle function, mass and functionally over a period of 12-weeks was alike in both groups of study participants (one-set and three-sets groups). Findings revealed that a low training volume enabled significant improvements in age-related neuromuscular changes.
