The research, conducted by the University of São Paulo, found that performing three sets of resistance exercises is more beneficial than one set for older adults. This regimen not only improved muscle strength and mass but also enhanced functional capacity, which is crucial for maintaining independence in daily activities. The study suggests that while one set can still provide benefits, increasing to three sets significantly boosts outcomes in terms of muscle hypertrophy and strength, potentially reducing the risk of falls and improving overall quality of life in this demographic.
