Ethics Chapter 3 – Methods Ethics approval for the study was granted by the Northern Regional Y Ethics Committee (reference: NTY/10/03/025). Resistance training intervention The resistance training intervention used in the present study was identical to the RT programme used successfully by Keogh, et al. (2007) and Keogh, et al. (2010) to reduce finger force variability and postural tremor, respectively in neurologically normal older adults. The programme consisted of three unilateral dumbbell exercises; an elbow flexion, wrist flexion and wrist extension (Figures 3-5). Each exercise was performed for four sets of 8-10 repetitions. The first set was a warm-up set, with the load being 50% of the 5RM established during the strength tests. The following three sets had training loads set at an intensity that would allow for the completion of at least eight repetitions. If three full sets of 10 repetitions were able to be performed, the load was then increased by between 1kg for the next session. A two minute rest period was given between each set of an exercise. This programme was performed over a period of six weeks, with each week involving two sessions of approximately 40 minutes each. Between each session there was a rest period of at least 48 hours. Every session was supervised by a clinical exercise physiologist. 35
