The purpose was to determine the velocity during strength and power training, with elastic resistance bands, in older adults. Nine older patients, who attended the day hospital rehabilitation program at Riverview Health Centre, were trained for power and strength of the ankle muscles using elastic resistance bands for 4 to 6 weeks. Training sessions were filmed to assess the velocity of training using Proanalyst software. Power training occurred at faster peak velocities as compared to strength training (p<0.001) for both muscle groups, however there were significant differences for average velocity only during training of plantar flexors (p<0.001). There was no significant difference between strength and power training in terms of within individual variability. However, a wide variability was observed between subjects in velocities they trained at and overlap was found between velocities for strength and power training. Hence, researchers should monitor velocity during different types of training in older adults.

Диссертационное исследование посвящено выявлению эффективности применения методики урочных занятий с использованием фитнес-резинок на уроках физической культуры с девушками 14–15 лет в целях улучшения физической подготовленности и повышения мотивации к урокам физической культуры. Исследования показало, что методика урочных занятий с использованием фитнес-резинок более эффективна для повышения физической подготовленности и мотивации учащихся, чем традиционные уроки физической культуры. / The dissertation research is devoted to the identification of the effectiveness of the application of the method of scheduled classes using fitness bands in physical education lessons with girls aged 14-15 years in order to improve physical fitness and increase motivation for physical education lessons. Studies have shown that the method of scheduled classes using fitness bands is more effective for improving physical fitness and motivation of students than traditional physical education lessons.
