Effects of an integrated health education and elastic band resistance training program on physical function and muscle strength in community‐dwelling elderly women: Healthy Aging and Happy Aging II study

These results show the effectiveness of following self-directed resistance training with health education after supervised training cessation in improvement of short physical performance battery and leg muscle strength. This intervention program might be an effective method to promote muscle strength and quality, and to prevent frailty in elderly women. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2017; 17: 825-833.
