Mona Foldvari,Maureen Clark,Lori C. Laviolette,Melissa A. Bernstein,David Kaliton,David Kaliton,Carmen Castaneda,Charles T. Pu,Jeffrey M. Hausdorff,Roger A. Fielding,Roger A. Fielding,Maria A. Fiatarone Singh,Maria A. Fiatarone Singh +12 more
TL;DR: Leg power is a strong predictor of self-reported functional status in elderly women and was related in univariate analyses to physiologic capacity, habitual physical activity level, neuropsychological status, and medical diagnoses.
Randomized trial of progressive resistance training to counteract the myopathy of chronic heart failure.
Charles T. Pu,Charles T. Pu,Meredith T. Johnson,Meredith T. Johnson,Daniel E. Forman,Daniel E. Forman,Jeffrey M. Hausdorff,Ronenn Roubenoff,Mona Foldvari,Roger A. Fielding,Maria A. Fiatarone Singh,Maria A. Fiatarone Singh,Maria A. Fiatarone Singh +12 more
TL;DR: High-intensity progressive resistance training improves impaired skeletal muscle characteristics and overall exercise performance in older women with CHF and is largely explained by skeletal muscle and not resting cardiac adaptations.

Strength training in older women: early and late changes in whole muscle and single cells
Walter R. Frontera,Walter R. Frontera,Virginia A. Hughes,Lisa S. Krivickas,Sang-Kyu Kim,Mona Foldvari,Ronenn Roubenoff +6 more
TL;DR: Early adaptations to strength training in elderly women cannot be attributed to changes at the cellular level and therefore occur primarily in the central nervous system, and later, cellular adaptations in specific force track closely whole muscle changes.
