Strength Training for Older AdultsProject DescriptionAging is associated with loss of bone density, skeletal muscle, and muscular strength, which further contributes to disabilities associated with arthritis. Therefore, it is important to promote the development of programs that encourage increasing muscle mass and strength among aging populations. The CDC funded the Center for Physical Fitness at Tufts University to develop safe and effective strength-training materials to provide older adults with the opportunity to participate in strength training.
