The optimal training paradigm for improving muscle in older adults is not known, although some literature suggests high velocity, low load young adults. Methods. One hundred twelve healthy (69 ± 6 years) were randomly assigned to either explosive resistance 20% (G20), 50% (G50), or 80% (G80) one repetition maximum (1RM) 8–12 weeks...

Detailed stratigraphic subdivision is facilitated by combining all calcareous plankton groups. Time-stratigraphic correlation dating beyond radiocarbon range are possible comparison curves. During glacial maximum salinity rose to more...
