Clinical Trial Summary

The aims of this study were to: 1. Compare the effects of low-dose Maximal Intent and Controlled Tempo Resistance Training on untrained healthy older adults' quality-of-life, functional capacity, and strength. 2. Qualitatively explore perceptions of Maximal Intent and Controlled Tempo Resistance Training in older adults. Older adults are defined as being 60 or more years of age.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Quality-of-life	Participant quality of life (measured through focus group questions & SF-36)	At baseline and Week 1, mid (Week 4), and post (Week 9), out of a total study duration of 9 weeks.
Secondary	Balance	Using the biodex to do a 3 x 20s double-foot eyes-open balance test on Level 6.	At baseline and Week 1, mid (Week 4), and post (Week 9), out of a total study duration of 9 weeks.
Secondary	6-minute Walk Test	A "brisk"-paced 6-minute walk test.	At baseline and Week 1, mid (Week 4), and post (Week 9), out of a total study duration of 9 weeks.
Secondary	Timed-up-and-go	Standing from a chair, walking to a point 3 metres away, turn, and return to the chair as quick as possible whilst walking.	At baseline and Week 1, mid (Week 4), and post (Week 9), out of a total study duration of 9 weeks.
Secondary	30-second sit-to-stand (30s-Sit-to-Stand)	Maximal amount of repetitions a participant can stand up from a chair in 30-seconds.	At baseline and Week 1, mid (Week 4), and post (Week 9), out of a total study duration of 9 weeks.
Secondary	Strength	Participants one-repetition max on leg press machine.	At baseline and Week 1, mid (Week 4), and post (Week 9), out of a total study duration of 9 weeks.
Secondary	Body Mass Index	Mass and height will be combined to report BMI in kg/m^2	At baseline and Week 1, mid (Week 4), and post (Week 9), out of a total study duration of 9 weeks.
Secondary	Strength-to-mass Ratio	Mass and Leg Press 1RM will be combined to calculate strength-to-mass ratio.	At baseline and Week 1, mid (Week 4), and post (Week 9), out of a total study duration of 9 weeks.
Secondary	Leg press one-rep-max velocity pre-to-post	Velocity (m/s) of leg press measured at post-intervention, using baseline one-rep-max.	At baseline and Week 1, mid (Week 4), and post (Week 9), out of a total study duration of 9 weeks.
