Individual Responses to Resistance Type Exercise Training

Aging is associated with a progressive decline in skeletal muscle mass, strength, and physical function, a condition termed sarcopenia. Resistance-type exercise training currently represents the primary therapeutic strategy recommended to prevent and reverse the age-related decline in skeletal muscle mass, strength, and function. Previous work has shown substantial interindividual variability in resistance-type exercise- mediated changes in muscle mass and strength after a period of standardized exercise training. This has resulted in suggestions that some people may be unresponsive to the benefits of exercise interventions. We recently assessed the proposed prevalence of unresponsiveness of older men and women to augment lean body mass, muscle fiber size, muscle strength, and/or physical function following prolonged resistance-type exercise training in an older population. Though a large heterogeneity was apparent in the adaptive response to prolonged resistance-type exercise training when changes in lean body mass, muscle fiber size, strength, and physical function were assessed in older men and women, there was not a single subject that did not show a benefit on one or more of the assessed parameters. We conclude that there are no nonresponders to the benefits of resistance-type exercise training. Consequently, resistance-type exercise should be promoted without restriction to support healthy aging in the older population
