5
Methods-Strength Random Assignment –1 of 4 groups Cardiovascular training (CVT) Resistance training (RT) Combination CVT & RT (COMBO) Control (CONRTOL)
6
Methods-Strength Testing –Before intervention –0-3 days post-intervention –5 weeks post-intervention
7
Methods-Strength Testing Measurements – VO 2max Astrand Rhyming Cycle Ergometer Test –50 RPM, 6-minutes –Pulse rate last 10 seconds of final 2 minutes –Nomogram to predict VO 2max –Age adjusted
8
Methods-Strength Testing Measurements –Hand Held Dynamometry (HHD) 1RM –Hip extensors, hip abductors, knee extensors, ankle dorsiflexors, ankle plantar flexors, abdominals, paraspinals Measurement at muscle weakest point per length tension curve 2 trials, 3 second hold, 15-30 second rest between
9
Methods-Strength Testing Measurements –5 Time Sit to Stand Arms across chest Timed –Command “Go” –Time ended when back touched chair
10
Methods-Strength RT Group –n = 21 –1st session 2x8 repetitions, 60% 1RM - to learn correct technique –Remaining 8 weeks 3x8 repetitions, 80% 1RM, 2x/week Concentric <1 second Eccentric 2-3 seconds –Exercise Sequence Paraspinals, R hip ABD, PF, L hip ABD, knee extensors, R hip extensors, DF, L hip extensors, abdominals –1RM recalculated at 4-weeks Lander’s Prediction Equation –Participants encouraged to perform exercises 1 additional day/week
11
