4.1. Physical Function
RET
Our data indicated that the programed RET tended to improve handgrip strength (+2%, It is well established that chronic RET counteracts the loss of muscle strength and diminished physical function in older adults. We observed remarkable improvements in all aspects of physical function after 8 wks of RET, and FO appeared to enhance the RET-induced benefit of functional capacity in older females, as indicated by the Cohen’s
