Abstract
Fifteen men and women (76 ± 8.3 yr., range 65-91 yr.) performed a 12-week single set strength training program designed to increase strength (1RM), endurance/training volume (VOL) and Functional Fitness (FF). Their 1RM increased by 9% (p= 0.04) for Leg Press and by 5% (p= 0.15) for Bench Press. VOL increased by 36% (p< 0.001) for Leg Press and by 26% (p< 0.001) for Chest Press. FF improved for Chair Stand (21%, p= 0.06), Up and Go(20%, p= 0.018), and Lift and Reach (13%, p= 0.03). Single set strength training appears to be a viable approach to increasing strength, endurance and functional fitness in older adults.
