Abstract

The aim was to compare the effects of 12 weeks of strength and power training on peak torque, rate of torque development, and dynamic force in elderly people. Thirty-four elderly people were divided into strength training (ST) (n = 13; 67 ± 10.2 years), power training (PT) (n = 10; 63.3 ± 3 years), and control group (n = 11; 65 ± 1.75 years). The 2-way analysis of variance showed that dynamic force of the ST and PT presented similar increase, but significantly different from control group to leg press (ST = 26%; PT = 24%), knee-extension (ST = 36%; PT = 23%), and knee flexion (ST = 23%; PT = 13%). However, the peak and rate of torque development did not change in both groups.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
