Effect of maximal mental effort during elastic band training on neuromuscular adaptations in older women
Compared to EBT, MME did not result in augmented strength or VA. Future research is needed in sarcopenic or older adults suffering from greater age-related weakness. Despite the short training duration, positive effects of home-based, EBT were found for muscle size, quality, and strength in older women. The promotion of accessible forms of resistance training for older adults, such as EBT, is warranted.
