Lower Extremity Muscle and Function in the Elderly: Study 2
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating High velocity low force Power Training and Low velocity high force Power Training for Mobility Limitation. Completed, enrolled 52 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This research study is looking to compare the effects of two uniquely different power training interventions (high force, lower velocity versus low force, high velocity) on changes in mobility status among older individuals at risk for mobility disability.

Interventions
Lower Extremity high velocity power training performed at lower external resistance (40% of the 1 repetition maximum muscle strength). Leg and knee extension exercises were performed twice per week (3 sets of each exercise consisting of 10 repetitions).
