Summary

The purpose of this project is to identify the effects of hand grip resistance training on nerve speed of the hand muscles and to quantify whether age plays a role in those effects. Two groups (young and older adults) underwent a 4-week resistance training intervention with nerve conduction velocity measured before and after. There were also two control groups (young and older adults) who performed the testing 4 weeks apart, but did not engage in the intervention.

Resistance Training

Participants in the training groups performed bilateral hand grip resistance training three times per week for four weeks using a specialized hand-grip kit provided to them. Participants were provided with pictures and instructions for each exercise upon completion of the initial testing (PRE) session. They were asked to perform 12 training sessions (approximately 30-45 mins) over the 4 weeks according to their schedule. Each participant was asked to keep a training log to assist with accountability. Those assigned to the control groups were asked to maintain their normal daily activities throughout the four weeks.
