Minimal dose resistance training with elastic tubes promotes functional and cardiovascular benefits to older women
Objectives: To compare the effects of conventional resistance training (CRT) versus elastic resistance training (ERT) on functional fitness and cardiovascular outcomes in older women. Methods: Seventeen older women were divided into two groups: CRT group (n=9, 66.98 ± 6.0 years) performed exercises using weight machines and/or free-weight and ERT (n=8, 71.50 ± 4.98 years) group […]
