Aging can be associated with reduced muscle power, functional decline, and increased plasma concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines. Functional training (FT) can improve muscle power, functional fitness and reduce plasma cytokines. However, the FT optimal volume required to produce these adaptations must be clarified. Our study analyzed the eff...
