RECRUITING

Enhancing Strength Gains With the Power of the Mind

Conditions

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effect of maximal mental effort combined with elastic band training on strength and neuromuscular function in healthy, older females. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does elastic band training in combination with maximal mental effort increase strength more than elastic band training alone? * Does elastic band training in combination with maximal mental effort improve neuromuscular function more than elastic band training alone? Participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups: * Elastic band training * Elastic band training with maximal mental effort * Control Researchers will compare groups to determine differences in changes in strength, neuromuscular function, and body composition.

Official Title

The Effect of Combining Maximal Mental Effort With Elastic Band Training on Strength and Neuromuscular Adaptations in Older Females
