06.01.2022 What is the purpose of the research? The purpose of this research project is to understand the effects of resistance training on functional capacity (e.g., raising from a chair, walking, and stair climbing) and muscular control in older adults. Why are you looking for people like me? The research team is inviting older adults (65-85 years):... Free of lower limbs musculoskeletal injuries (such as, arthrosis or arthritis, prostheses, and recent surgeries) that limit the muscular contractions; Free of medical conditions (e.g. multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, and heart and respiratory diseases). Not consuming tobacco or illicit drugs in the last year, and/or medication that results in dizziness and antidepressants. With no recent regular practice of resistance training in the last year, or report to be undertaking anabolic steroids. Interested? Email us: Lucas: [email protected]
