Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aimed to investigate the effect of explosive-type strength training of on muscle strength and postural stability. Participants were healthy older adults divided into two groups: the training group and the control group. Participants in the training group underwent explosive-type strength training. In the training group, the maximum voluntary torque (MVT) and rate of torque development (RTD) in the post-training phase increased compared with those in the pre-training phase. Moreover improvement of indices related to postural stability was observed. These findings suggest that explosive-type strength training increases MVT and RTD, which contributes to postural stability.
