Key Points Question Is power training associated with an improvement in physical function compared with traditional strength training in community-living older adults? Finding In this systematic review and meta-analysis of 20 randomized clinical trials enrolling 566 older adults, low-certainty evidence showed improvement in physical function and self-reported function with power training. Power training was associated with an improvement in physical function in 13 RCTs and self-reported physical function in 3 RCTs. Meaning The findings of this study suggest that power training may be associated with a modest improvement in physical function compared with traditional strength training in healthy, community-living older adults.
