Individualized Versus Non-Individualized Resistance Training
En skræddersyet intervention for at forhindre aldersrelaterede fald i muskelkraft og funktionsevne
Preserving functional ability is crucial for healthy aging. Unfortunately, age-related decreases in muscle power often lead to declines in functional ability. As power is the product of force and velocity, decreases in power can originate from changes in muscle force, contraction velocity, or both, varying between individuals. The primary method to prevent functional disability is power-based resistance training. Although training interventions are effective for most older adults, they do not induce substantial improvements in a subset of the population. These inconsistent outcomes may arise from neglecting the observed differences in the force-velocity (F-V) profiles between individuals. Therefore, this study provides a novel approach to resistance exercise, in which exercise dose is tailored according to the individual's F-V profile. The effectiveness of the tailored method will be assessed in a randomized control trial, comparing the effects of an individualized and a non-individualized 12-week training intervention on muscle power parameters and functional ability.

Eksperimentel: Individualized resistance exercise program
Individualized exercise dose. All individuals perform resistance exercises at a load that targets their deficit. Individuals with a velocity deficit train at low loads while individuals with a force deficit train at high loads. |
2x/week, 35-45 min sessions, on leg press machine |
|
Aktiv komparator: Non-individualized resistance exercise program
Non-individualized exercise dose. All individuals perform resistance exercises at a load that does not target their deficit. Individuals with a velocity deficit train at high loads while individuals with a force deficit train at low loads. |
2x/week, 35-45 min sessions, on leg press machine |

Maximal power (Pmax)
Tidsramme: Change from baseline at 6 and 12 weeks
|
Participants performed explosive unilateral leg extensions with the dominant leg at five submaximal loads on a pneumatic leg press (Leg Press Air 400, Keiser, USA). Submaximal loads were scaled to the estimated maximal isometric force derived from the familiarization session. The three lighter loads were performed three times each and the two heavier loads twice, with the repetition yielding the highest mean concentric velocity retained for analysis. Participants subsequently performed single repetitions at incrementally increasing loads until 1-RM was reached. Rest intervals were adjusted according to the load of the preceding trial: 60 s after the three lightest loads, 90 s after the two heavier loads, and 120 s during the incremental trials leading to 1-RM. For each load, the mean concentric velocity of the best trial was used to establish the individual force-velocity (F-V) relationship using linear regression, from which the maximal power (Pmax; W) was estimated. |
