Abstract
Apply It! • Jumping, medicine ball, dumbbell, kettlebell, and barbell exercises may be used to train power output in the older population. Jumping and medicine ball exercises should be implemented with lighter loads to emphasize the velocity side of the power output spectrum.
• Dumbbell, kettlebell, and barbell exercises should be implemented with moderate–heavy loads to emphasize the force side of the power output spectrum.
• Exercises should be performed with the intent of maximizing power output during training.
