Velocity-based resistance training in institutionalized older adults: protocol for an experimental study with follow-up.
Article in Frontiers in aging, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07027397 (One Year of Velocity-based Resistance Training in Older People Living in Nursing Homes), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract
Background: The effects of velocity-based resistance training (VBRT) in institutionalized older adults remain poorly explored. This protocol aims to describe a study designed to i) analyze the effects of a 9-month VBRT program on skeletal muscle size, muscle function, physical performance, disability, cognitive function and frailty in nursing home residents, ii) compare the impact of different velocity loss (VL) thresholds (10% vs. 20%), and iii) determine the residual effect of the intervention after 6 months exercise cessation. Methods: Nursing home residents aged ≥65 years will participate in this experimental study. Participants will complete a 4-week control period followed by a 9-month VBRT program and 6 months of follow-up after exercise cessation. The intervention will consist of VBRT twice a week using the leg press exercise for 9 months. The participants will be randomly assigned to two VL groups: 10% vs. 20% VL, performing Discussion: We hypothesize that VBRT will exhibit meaningful benefits in muscle size, muscle function, physical performance, disability, cognitive function and frailty among institutionalized older adults, with no significant differences between 10% and 20% VL thresholds. While deconditioning is predictable after 6 months of exercise cessation, the investigated outcomes are expected to remain significantly and positively elevated compared to baseline values. This study will help to identify innovative actions to improve overall health and endorse exercise practice in older adults living in nursing homes.
