Effects of High-Speed Power Training on Muscle Performance and Braking Speed in Older Adults

We examined whether high-speed power training (HSPT) improved muscle performance and braking speed using a driving simulator. 72 older adults (22 m, 50 f; age = 70.6 ± 7.3 yrs) were randomized to HSPT at 40% one-repetition maximum (1RM) (HSPT: n=25; 3 sets of 12–14 repetitions), slow-speed strength...
