| Ageing is associated with a gradual decline in physical function due to age-related loss of muscle mass, strength, and muscle power, leading to loss of independence. Physical therapists employ various tests to assess of physical functional performance, postural control, and muscle strength. Several of these may provide inadequate information in regard to detecting early onset of decline in performance. Physical activity, particularly resistance training involving high-intensity muscle actions (i.e., heavy-resistance strength training) has proven effective in reversing the negative effects age-related changes, sedentary lifestyle and immobilization, even in older adults. | en | |
