Strength and power exercises are important components of an effective training program for older adults of all ages, health conditions and functional abilities. However, there are numerous, and often conflicting, methodologies and strategies that are recommended throughout the fitness industry: single set or multiple sets? high load or low load? machines or free weights? stable or unstable? In this session we will sort through the research on these topics and more and apply them to a wide array of older clients. We will also consider some emerging areas in the research that are pointing us in new directions.
