Interventions
The intensity, volume, tempo, and progression will be based on the Federal Physical Activity guidelines. The resistance training exercises will include mainly multi-joint exercises using selectorized machines. Each session will include upper body exercises (Chest Press, Shoulder Press, Seated Rows, Bicep curls, and Tricep Extensions) and lower body exercises (Leg Press, Leg Extension and Leg Curls, and Calf raise) that will be tailored to the participant needs.
The successful aging will attend stretching and health lectures as a group . The topics might include, medication management, disease management (e.g. blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, dementia, pain management, diet) and other health related matters.
