Reduced sensorimotor lactate concentration and improved sleep efficiency following resistance training in older adults.
GeroScience·September 9, 2026·PMID 42717164
Why it mattersSleep fragmentation and impaired neural oxidative metabolism are common in aging and linked to cognitive decline. This trial provides mechanistic evidence that resistance training may target both, offering a non-pharmacological strategy for older adults at risk.
