The Benefits of Power Training/Rapid Movement Training for the Adult 60plus

by Hartmut Broring, M.S. Physio-Therapy
Dear Friend:

What is Power Training or Rapid Movement Training?

Unlike the traditional way of strength training that we have offered our 60plus clients to increase muscular strength, which we had them perform slowly and controlled, Power Training/Rapid Movement Training is all about increasing movement speed and all while improving strength. I think it’s rather obvious that the risk for injury does increase when accelerating movement which is most likely the reason, we didn’t use speed and plyometric training with the advanced age population for so long, thinking that the benefits didn’t justify the increased risk. Over the past few decades by the way of many studies using these forms of training with the 60plus population we realized that we were doing our aging population a great disservice by withholding Power/Rapid Movement Training.
