Training-induced Muscle Strength and Its Role in Interface Pressure in Inelastic Compression

NCT05023642 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 44

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The present study will answer the following question: what are the effects of strength gain and muscle hypertrophy on interface pressure, static stiffness index, and working pressure amplitude in the elderly using inelastic compression?

Conditions

  • Resistance Training

Interventions

OTHER

resistance training

Interventions will include a three-phase strengthening training protocol. 1. Adaptation phase: three sessions, emphasis on learning the technique, body self-awareness, and movement coordination; 2. Basic phase: 12 sessions, to increase muscle strength; and 3. Specific phase: 21 sessions, to intensify the process of strength gain and muscular hypertrophy. Participants will perform the following exercises during the strength-training protocol intervention: pec deck/seated lever fly, adductor, pulldown, abductor strengthening, alternating dumbbell curl, leg press at a 45-angle, triceps pulley, lateral raise, knee flexion and extension, ankle joint flexion and extension in the leg press, and crunches. If the participant has difficulty performing a specific exercise, an equivalent activity will replace it. From the eighth week onwards, participants will perform additional exercises focused on strengthening the gastrocnemius and soleus.
