Abstract in brief

  • Strength training is increasingly important for the elderly to maintain mobility and prevent muscle mass loss, which affects motor function.
  • Training at 60-85% of maximum voluntary strength can help increase muscle mass and improve motor unit recruitment, with higher intensities above 85% needed to enhance force development.
  • Regular strength training (3-4 times weekly) is effective in reducing sarcopenia and preserving motor function, with few side effects even at higher intensities.]
