• Increase sizeof both type I and type II muscle fibers
• Improvements in muscle strength and size in healthy older people is similar to
younger people
• Even in very old nursing home residents, resistance exercise training showed
improvements in muscle fiber CSA (3%–9%), muscle strength (> 100%) and physical
performance such as gait speed and stair climbing
