Effects of free weights and machine training on muscular strength in high-functioning older adults.

CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrate that especially free-weight training has benefits in improving leg and triceps strength as well as in the subjective perception in older adults. Nevertheless, our results do not overall indicate that free-weight training is superior to machine training for increasing strength. PMID: 30980922 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
