Quantifying the Trainability of Peripheral Nerve Function in Young and Older Adults.

Participants in the training groups performed bilateral hand grip resistance training three times per week for four weeks using a specialized hand-grip kit provided to them. Participants were provided with pictures and instructions for each exercise upon completion of the initial testing (PRE) session. They were asked to perform 12 training sessions (approximately 30-45 mins) over the 4 weeks according to their schedule. Each participant was asked to keep a training log to assist with accountability. Those assigned to the control groups were asked to maintain their normal daily activities throughout the four weeks.
