Once weekly combined resistance and cardiovascular training in healthy older men
Article Abstract:
A study to compare the effects of a 16 week training twice daily of resistance (S), endurance (E) training or combined resistance and endurance (SE) training on muscle mass, maximal strength and muscle power and cardiovascular performance in older men using an incremental cycling test is presented. Prolonged training showed positive gains and these findings may also have an effect on how resistance exercise is prescribed to older adults.

Postexercise myostatin and activin IIb mRNA levels: Effects of strength training
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to determine muscle growth- and regeneration-related mRNA expression in response to a single resistance exercise (RE) bout both before and after a strength-training (ST) period. The findings reveal that a single heavy RE session could downregulate both myostatin and its receptor activin IIb mRNA and could upregulate myogenin mRNA expression in older men.

Maximal strength and power, endurance performance, and serum hormones in middle-aged and elderly men
Article Abstract:
Research presented examines the relationship between aging, muscle strength, and endurance in middle-aged and aged men, as well as their serum or blood hormone concentrations of cortisol and testosterone. Under conditions of a cycling exercise, elderly men are found to have less maximal strength, muscle power, and free testosterone levels than middle-aged men.
