Resistance Exercise Training in Individuals Aged 60 and Older With Mild Cognitive Impairment

"The training sessions will begin with a 5-minute warm-up on a cycle ergometer and global movements involving the upper limbs. Following this, participants will perform one additional warm-up set, followed by four regular sets on both the leg press and leg extension machines. Upper body exercises will then be conducted on the chest press, pull-up, and horizontal rowing machines, with each exercise comprising 2 sets.~To conclude each session, there will be a 5-minute cooldown period involving global muscle stretching exercises. During the initial 6-week period, the workload will progressively increase from 60% to 80% of 1RM (10 repetitions per set). Subsequently, the 1RM will be reassessed to adjust workloads (maintaining 60%-80%) for the subsequent 6-week period. Compliance for per-protocol analysis will require participants to complete at least 80% of the training sessions (i.e., a minimum of 29 out of 36 sessions)."
