- Allocation: RandomizedIntervention Model: Parallel AssignmentIntervention Model Description: Exercise Training Intervention: The older adult subjects that were recruited for the cross-sectional studies will then be asked to return to perform 8 weeks of resistance exercise training on each leg. The exercise will involve low-load, high-velocity power training of the knee extensor muscles. One of the legs will be counterbalanced based on strength to either exercise with blood flow restriction (BFR), while the other leg will exercise without BFR. Before and after the 8 weeks of training subjects will undergo the same measurements in the cross-sectional studies to assess fatigability, skeletal muscle bioenergetics and vascular function of each leg.Masking: None (Open Label)Primary Purpose: Treatment
