Popis: In older adults, the safety and effectiveness of resistance exercise have been established (1-5). However, there is paucity of information pertaining to the application of resistance exercise, specifically high-intensity resistance exercises in very old individuals (100+ years of age). This report presents the case of a 105-year older woman, who completed high-intensity resistance exercises as part of a home-health physiotherapy program.
