Digit Force Control In Older Adults: Benefits Of Resistance-Training?, Justin W.L. Keogh
Digit Force Control In Older Adults: Benefits Of Resistance-Training?, Justin W.L. Keogh
Justin Keogh
This paper seeks to review the effect on digit force control of: 1) the ageing process; and 2) the resistance-training in older adults. Significant age-related decreases in finger-pinch force control were observed in many but not all studies. Those that didn't report age-related differences involved bi-digit finger-pinch tasks requiring the production of constant forces only. This suggests that the age-related decline in force control becomes more pronounced the more challenging the force production task. While three studies reported that resistance-training improved older adults' digit force control capabilities, it is unclear if these improvements would occur in tasks that: 1) require …
