Abstract

It is unclear how aging affects adaptive responses to resistance exercise training (RET), especially in women. We hypothesized that (i) increases in muscle mass and function after RET would be blunted in older women, and (ii) reduced 'pro-anabolic' changes in gene expression after a single bout of RE may underlie the blunting.
