Summary

This study looks at why older adults respond differently to strength training. Researchers will track 300 people aged 65 and older who are at risk for mobility problems. Participants will do progressive resistance training, and scientists will measure changes in physical function, blood sugar, muscle size, and strength. The goal is to understand how biological aging affects these results.
