Effects of Short- and Long-Term Aerobic-Strength Training and Determinants of Walking Speed in the Elderly

Conclusions: Supervised aerobic-strength training increased WS, strength, and dynamics of voluntary knee extension as well as habitual physical activity in older individuals. Favorable changes in WS were sustainable over the 21-month period by a lower dose of aerobic-strength training. Training effects on WS were not limited by age, and cerebellar cortex volume was the key determinant of WS.Gerontology
