Industry Presented Webinar - Muscle Matters: The Critical Role of Strength Training in Older Adults

Sponsored by Vivo

About this course

This course explores why muscle strength is a linchpin of healthy aging, distilling the latest clinical evidence on resistance training’s impact on mobility, metabolic health, and independence after age 50. Participants will get an inside look at Vivo, an online, live and interactive strength training program that pairs real-time coaching with data-driven progression to overcome common barriers faced by older adults. We will review findings from recent trials—including Vivo-supported studies—demonstrating high adherence and significant functional gains with remote programs. Finally, learners will leave with practical strategies for integrating interactive virtual strength training programs into clinical practice, community programs, or personal routines for mid-life and older adults.

What you will learn

  • Explain age-related changes in muscle mass, strength, and function, and summarize the clinical consequences of sarcopenia
  • Evaluate key findings from recent trials—including those using Vivo—that demonstrate adherence, quality of life and functional gains with remotely delivered strength programs
  • Outline the core components of the Vivo system (live coaching, real-time feedback, and tailored progression) and how they address common barriers to exercise adoption in older populations
  • Formulate practical strategies for integrating interactive, online strength training into clinical practice, community programs, or personal wellness plans for mid-life and older adults
