Mental Effort During Low Load Resistance Training in Older Adults
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effect of maximal mental effort combined with low-intensity resistance training on strength and neuromuscular function in older adults with functional limitations. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does low-intensity resistance training in combination with maximal mental effort increase strength more than low intensity resistance training alone?
* Does low-intensity resistance training in combination with maximal mental effort improve neuromuscular function more than low intensity resistance training alone?
Participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups:
* Low intensity resistance training
* Low intensity resistance training with maximal mental effort
* Control Researchers will compare groups to determine differences in changes in strength, neuromuscular function, and body composition.
