“…These ndings may be accredited to the physiological and psychological bene ts as well. Studies focusing among older adults have reported that 12 weeks or over of moderate-intensity exercise can evoke cardiovascular adaptations [27] and 24 weeks traditional training practices can increase muscle power [34].…”

Background Little is known about the potential effects of exercise behaviour on disability and physical functioning (PF) in late-life. This study aimed to investigate whether exercise behaviour with four different long term exercise status influences disability and PF in older Chinese adults during their last six years of life. Methods Secondary data analyses were performed using participants (≥ 65 years) from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Study. Exercise behaviour was collected every three years during their last six years of life. 4265 participants were enrolled and divided into four groups, including long-term non-exercising (NN), non-exercising to exercise (NY), exercise to non-exercising (YN), and long-term exercising (YY). Disability was measured based on the Katz Index of Activities of Daily Living scale and divided into three disability levels. PF was included as chair-rise, pick-up book and turn-around. Risks burden in disability and PF among four groups were compared using logistic regression analyses. Results Compared with NN, the risk of developing severe disability was attenuated in YY (OR 0.11, 95%CI 0.06 to 0.21) and attenuated in NY (OR 0.27, 95%CI 0.17 to 0.44) and increased in YN (OR 1.36, 95%CI 1.08 to 1.72). Moderate disability risk was increased in YN (OR 1.85, 95%CI 1.26 to 2.71) only. The risk of developing physical dysfunction ( chair-rise, pick-up book, and turning around 360°) was decreased in YY and NY, and did not have significant difference in YN. Conclusions EP were associated with disability and PF in older Chinese adults during their late-life. Late-life exercise behaviour is still beneficial. Our findings suggest that it is meaning to encourage older people doing EP at late-life in China.

“…FRT, which emphasises synchronised, multidimensional, and multijoint movement modes to train muscles with dynamic exercises and continuous changes on unstable surfaces (e.g., BOSU ball, swish ball, balance disc) for enhancing physical tness, has been used to improve the physical condition and health level in patient. FRT improves the physical capabilities (muscle mass, strength, and dynamic balance) and physical performance similar to TRT, although with a lower training intensity [24,25].…”

(1) Background: The present study attempted to determine and compare the vascular impact of traditional and functional resistance training on arterial stiffness. (2) Methods: The present study was conducted in 29 untrained healthy young males aged 18–29 years who were randomly divided into two groups, namely traditional resistance training (TRT, n = 15) and functional resistance training (FRT, n = 14). All subjects underwent numerous tests before and after the 6-week training such as body composition, cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI), blood pressure, heart rate, and maximal strength. The exercise training comprised whole-body strength training exercises 3 days a week for 6 weeks. The total training volume and number of sets (4–5 sets) were kept constantly similar in each group. The TRT group completed 4–5 sets of 8–12 repetitions [70% of 1 repetition maximum (1RM)], whereas the FRT group completed 4–5 sets of 15–22 repetitions (40–50% of 1RM). (3) Results: After the 6-week intervention, lean body mass (TRT: Pre: 59.5 ± 5.4 kg; Post: 60.4 ± 4.9 kg vs. FRT: Pre: 57.7 ± 6.7 kg; Post: 58.8 ± 5.9 kg) significantly increased in both TRT and FRT groups, whereas body fat (TRT: Pre: 18.8% ± 5.8%; Post: 16.5% ± 5.3% vs. FRT: Pre: 16.7% ±4.6%; Post: 15.3% ± 4.7%), R-CAVI (TRT: Pre: 6.2 ± 0.6 m/sec; Post: 5.7 ± 0.6 m/sec vs. FRT: Pre: 5.9 ± 0.5 m/sec; Post: 5.3 ± 0.6 m/sec), and L-CAVI (TRT: Pre: 6.2 ± 0.6 m/sec; Post: 5.7 ± 0.6 m/sec vs. FRT: Pre: 6.0 ± 0.6 m/sec; Post: 5.4 ± 0.6 m/sec) decreased. Additionally, the maximal strength increased significantly in both the groups (p < 0.01). However, no significant difference was observed between the two groups. (4) Conclusions: A similar training volume of TRT and FRT with unstable surface significantly decreased body fat and arterial stiffness and improved lean body mass and maximal muscle strength in young men.

“…Sports exercise has been recognized as a non-drug method for preventing arterial stiffness by increasing number of young individuals. Functional resistance training (FRT) has been reported to elicit physical capabilities (muscle mass, strength, and dynamic balance) and physical performance similar to traditional resistance training, although with a lower training intensity ( Vasconcelos et al, 2020 ; de Resende-Neto et al, 2021 ). Nevertheless, the overall influence of FRT on age-associated arterial stiffness is poorly understood.…”

All participants underwent numerous tests, such as those for body composition, cardio-ankle vascular index, blood pressure, heart rate, and maximal strength before and after the 6-week training program. The exercise training comprised whole-body strength training exercises 3 days a week for 6 weeks. The total training volume and number of sets (4–5 sets) were kept constantly similar in each group. The TRT group completed 4–5 sets of 8–12 repetitions [70% of 1 repetition maximum (1RM)], whereas the FRT group completed 4–5 sets of 15–22 repetitions (40% 1RM).ResultsThe TRT and FRT groups exhibited equally significantly increased maximal strength (within group: both p < 0.01). Furthermore, the independent t-test showed that the differences between the two groups in terms of changes in maximal strength were no significant (between group: both p > 0.05). Additionally, significant main effects of time (pre vs. post) were observed for the left and right cardio-ankle vascular indices (p < 0.05); however, no significant difference were observed between the groups. For body compositions outcome measures, no significant differences between groups were observed.ConclusionSix weeks of FRT and TRT exhibit no difference in terms of effects on arterial stiffness and muscular strength.
