Brief Summary:
This study evaluates whether resistance exercise will improve immune responses to the seasonal influenza vaccine in older adults. One third of the participants will perform exercise in the arm that receives the vaccine, one third of the participants will perform the same exercise in the arm that does not receive the vaccine, and one third will only receive the vaccine.
Detailed Description:
Resistance exercise, particularly novel eccentric exercise, recruits immune cells to the targeted muscle. The exercises selected here targets the deltoid and biceps brachii muscles-those same muscles that the flu vaccine is delivered to during typical vaccination.
