The Long-term Effects of Training on Muscle Strength and Functionality
An observational study of Training and Ageing, run by Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven.
Trial summary
The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the long-term effects of 1 year of high-intensity fitness training and low-intensity whole-body vibration training on muscle strength and functionality. Therefore, muscle strength and functionality are measured after a 6-yr interval in older adults (65+). Read more about this study
