Brief Summary

The aims of this study were to:

  1. 1.Compare the effects of low-dose Maximal Intent and Controlled Tempo Resistance Training on untrained healthy adults' quality-of-life, functional capacity, and strength.
  2. 2.Qualitatively explore perceptions of Maximal Intent and Controlled Tempo Resistance Training.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Quality-of-life

    Participant quality of life (focus group questions \& SF-36)

    The time frame for my testing intervals will be conducted at specific time points: at baseline, Week 1, Week 4, and Week 9, out of a total study duration of 9 weeks.

Secondary Outcomes (7)

    The time frame for my testing intervals will be conducted at specific time points: at baseline, Week 1, Week 4, and Week 9, out of a total study duration of 9 weeks.

  • 6-minute Walk Test (6MWT)

    The time frame for my testing intervals will be conducted at specific time points: at baseline, Week 1, Week 4, and Week 9, out of a total study duration of 9 weeks.

  • Timed-up-and-go (TUG)

    The time frame for my testing intervals will be conducted at specific time points: at baseline, Week 1, Week 4, and Week 9, out of a total study duration of 9 weeks.

  • 30-second sit-to-stand (30s-STS)

    The time frame for my testing intervals will be conducted at specific time points: at baseline, Week 1, Week 4, and Week 9, out of a total study duration of 9 weeks.

  • Strength (1RM)

Study Arms (2)

Maximal-intent Resistance Training

EXPERIMENTAL

The MI group was instructed and encouraged to deliberately commit to exerting maximal effort and force during the concentric phase of the leg press with the intention of achieving the greatest velocity possible.

Other: Leg Press Resistance Training Machine

Controlled-tempo Resistance Training

EXPERIMENTAL

While the CT group followed the metronome for both eccentric and concentric phases.

Other: Leg Press Resistance Training Machine

Interventions

Leg Press Resistance Training MachineOTHER

Participants used said unilateral leg press at 60% one-repetition max for either 3 sets x 5 reps, or 5 sets x 5 reps, at either maximal- or controlled-tempo-intent.
