Muscle mass and strength gains following 6  months of resistance type exercise training are only partly preserved within one year with autonomous exercise continuation in older adults.

CONCLUSION: Though prolonged RT can effectively increase muscle mass and strength in the older population, muscle mass gains are lost and muscle strength gains are only partly preserved within one year if the supervised exercise program is not continued.
