Low-volume cycling training improves body composition and functionality in older people with multimorbidity: a randomized controlled trial

Abstract Physical exercise, when practiced regularly and in adequate doses, is a proven nonpharmacological measure that helps to prevent and reverse noncommunicable diseases, as well as reduce mortality rates from any cause. In general, older adults perform insufficient physical activity and do not...
