I'm reading a research paper titled:

"Effect of resistance training on muscle strength and rate of force development in healthy older adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis"

This thread will be about what it means for you and your golf game.

⬇️
"Cadore et al. (2014) have demonstrated that nonagenarians (people aged 90-99) can improve muscle strength 20% with
training"

You're not too old. Stop using that excuse. Get to work.
"Young and Bilby (1993) have demonstrated that resistance training performed with high velocity of contraction induced to a greater increase on RFD, than that conducted using low velocity of contraction".

Focus on moving the weight as quickly as possible to improve power!!!
The present meta-analysis shows that resistance training periods lasting 4–16 weeks are effective to promote significant muscle strength and RFD gains in elderly persons.

Heavy lifting AND lighter explosive lifting lead to strength and power gains in elderly people.

Start!
What does this mean for you?

Work to get stronger in the 3-8 rep range in exercises like these:

You can use dumbbells or bands to do similar exercises.

Practive moving your body weight, and light weights extrmely fast.

Jumps, sprints, med ball throws are great. So is explosive resistance band work. https://twitter.com/Fit_For_Golf/status/1325886135139246080?s=20
