Strength Training and Resveratrol

Description

The main goal of this study is to find out if supplementing with resveratrol improves skeletal muscle adaptations to strengthening exercise (resistance training or strength training) in adults age 60+, and to determine whether circulating vehicles of inter-organ communication (extracellular vesicles) and their cargo might help explain those responses. The investigators will also examine whether resveratrol supplementation improves blood vessel function and cognitive function (brain health) in response to strength training.
