Suspension training vs. traditional resistance training: effects on muscle mass, strength and functional performance in older adults
2020
Overview
Purpose
We compared the effects of suspension training (ST) with traditional resistance training (TRT) on muscle mass, strength and functional performance in older adults.
Methods
Forty-two untrained older adults were randomized in TRT, ST (both performed 3 sets of whole body exercises to muscle failure) or control group (CON). Muscle thickness (MT) of biceps brachii (MT
BB
) and vastus lateralis (MT
VL
), maximal dynamic strength test (1RM) for biceps curl (1RM
BC
) and leg extension exercises (1RM
LE
), and functional performance tests (chair stand [CS], timed up and go [TUG] and maximal gait speed [MGS]) were performed before and after 12 weeks of training.
Results
MT
BB
increased significantly and similarly for all training groups (TRT 23.35%; ST 21.56%). MT
VL
increased significantly and similarly for all training groups (TRT 13.03%; ST 14.07%). 1RM
BC
increased significantly and similarly for all training groups (TRT 16.06%; ST 14.33%). 1RM
LE
increased significantly and similarly for all training groups (TRT 14.89%; ST 18.06%). MGS increased significantly and similarly for all groups (TRT 6.26%; ST 5.99%; CON 2.87%). CS decreased significantly and similarly for all training groups (TRT − 20.80%; ST − 15.73%). TUG decreased significantly and similarly for all training groups (TRT − 8.66%; ST − 9.16%).
Conclusion
Suspension training (ST) promotes similar muscle mass, strength and functional performance improvements compared to TRT in older adults.
