{"type":"trials","record":{"id":93460,"source_id":"clinicaltrials-gov","external_id":"NCT02253615","title":"Effects of Resistance Training in Untrained Older Adults","brief_summary":"The latest randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews of resistance training performed by older adults reported that the systematic use of exercise in machines improves muscle strength and power, functional abilities, body mass and body balance. However, the effect of resistance training with elastic tubes exercises have not been studied in all the variables described above. The objective of this study is to analyze the effects of elastic tubes exercises on muscle mass, muscle strength, functional performance and postural control in elderly untrained.","overall_status":"Completed","phases":[],"study_type":"INTERVENTIONAL","sponsor":"University of Brasilia","enrollment":68,"countries":["Brazil"],"start_date":"2014-06-01","completion_date":"2015-05-01","last_update_date":"2015-05-13","source_url":"https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT02253615","editorial_summary":"A registered study indexed because it matched monitored longevity research terms.
