Description
The bilateral initiative aims to develop a set of research practices in both countries, regarding the influence of velocity-controlled strength training (VCST) on functional capacity in institutionalized older adults. To achieve the proposed objective, 4 joint activities were defined with the aim to identify the load-velocity relationship in older women and men in the horizontal leg-press exercise; analyse the acute effects of different protocols of VCST on functional capacity in older adults; compare the chronic adaptations of different VCST approaches on functional capacity in older adults
