An alternative exercise approach for the healthy older population employing unsupported arm elevation exercises at three degrees of elevation (90 degree, 120 degree, and 150 degree) Unsupported arm elevation exercise, older population
Conditions
Interventions
For the 90 degree SME, participants will perform in a standing position. Each participant will
be instructed to spot-marching at the chosen step rate (fastest possible step rate of SME during
