Introduction: Older adults are a heterogeneous group, and their care experience preferences are likely to be diverse and individualized. Thus, the aim of this study was to identify categories of older adults' care experience preferences and to examine similarities and differences across different age groups.

Methods: The initial categories of older adults' care experience preferences were identified through a qualitative review of narrative text (n = 3134) in the ADVault data set.

Article Synopsis
  • Blood flow restriction (BFR) combined with low-load resistance exercise (LL-BFR) can effectively promote muscle hypertrophy and strength, similar to traditional high-load resistance training (HL-RT).
  • A study involving 21 experienced resistance trainees showed that both LL-BFR and HL-RT resulted in significant increases in quadricep cross-sectional area (CSA) and muscular strength, with LL-BFR yielding a comparable increase in CSA and similar cellular signaling outcomes.
  • Although LL-BFR is a viable alternative to HL-RT for muscle gains, the magnitude of strength improvements, particularly in squat performance, was found to be superior in the high-load group.

The importance of accumulated time ≥90% of maximal oxygen consumption (VO ) to improve performance in well-trained endurance athletes is well established. The present study compared the acute effects of adding vibrations (VIB; 40 Hz) with the work intervals during a high-intensity cycling session (HIT) with a traditional HIT session without vibration (TRAD) on time ≥90% of VO , time ≥90% of peak heart rate (HR ), electromyography (EMG) activity, and mean power in well-trained cyclists (n = 10, VO =78.6 ± 7.
