SOURCE-LINKED STUDY SUMMARY
Effects of Daily Rhythm-Aligned Training on Skeletal Muscle Adaptation in Older Adults: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Full paper summarizedQuality not appraised
- What was studied
- A randomized trial tested whether training at individually measured peak-performance times improves adaptation more than trough-time training.
- Who / model studied
- 108 older adults were randomized, mean age 67 years; 93 were included in analyses.
- Studied dose & schedule
- 12 weeks including familiarization, with two supervised resistance sessions and one cycling session weekly; peak-time, trough-time or nontraining groups.
- What the study found
- Peak-time training showed no clear advantage in strength or appendicular lean mass. The lean-mass-index difference was 0.03 kg/m² (95% CI -0.09 to 0.15). No intervention-related serious adverse events occurred.
- Limitations & context
- Single-center study in relatively healthy older adults. Short training exposure and estimated peak times may obscure small effects. Findings do not establish equivalence across every population or training program.
