Why the study?
Does a 12-week progressive resistance training program change the velocity of sliding of actin filaments on pure myosin isoforms in young and older men?
Population
8 men, comprising 4 young (age 23-29 yr) and 4 elderly (age 68-82 yr)
Comparison

Resistance training may enhance myosin velocity in young and older men; leaves open clinical translation and mechanisms.
Does a 12-week progressive resistance training program change the velocity of sliding of actin filaments on pure myosin isoforms in young and older men?
Resistance training can increase the velocity of the myosin molecule without a change in isoform composition in both young and older men.
Canepari et al. (2005) studied this question.
