Does Aerobic Training Followed by Resistance Training Enhance Aerobic Capacity in Seniors

Does Aerobic Training Followed by Resistance Training Enhance Aerobic Capacity in Seniors? A Randomized Controlled Trial.

• Status: Completed
• Phase: Phase 2
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 33 (actual)
• Sponsor: University of Southern Denmark · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 50 Years – 65 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

In healthy young subjects a single bout of strength training following endurance training has been shown to improve markers for aerobic capacity in muscle compared to a single bout of endurance training alone. The present project tests the hypothesis: 12 weeks of training with sessions of endurance training followed by strength training is superior to endurance training alone for health participants 50-65 years of age. The outcome measures are maximal oxygen uptake and knee-extension strength.
