Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for older adults aged 60 to 95 who are physically independent and want to improve their muscle strength. Participants will visit a lab once a week for three weeks to do leg press exercises and answer questions about their motivation and effort during the workouts.

The overall objective for this clinical trial is to provide evidence for internal and external cueing for physical therapists and other rehabilitation clinicians to optimize resistance training within rehabilitation for older adults. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* What is the impact of external focus (providing velocity of movement for each repetition) compared to internal focus (i.e…
The overall objective for this clinical trial is to provide evidence for internal and external cueing for physical therapists and other rehabilitation clinicians to optimize resistance training within rehabilitation for older adults. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* What is the impact of external focus (providing velocity of movement for each repetition) compared to internal focus (i.e., no cues, control group) on physical percent velocity loss and neuromuscular activation in older adults with sarcopenia?
* Does internal and external focus influence motivation and perceptual workload following resistance training in older adults with sarcopenia?
Researchers will compare external focus to internal focus to see if external focus impacts percent velocity loss, motivation, and perceived workload.
Participants will:
* Visit the lab once per week for 3 weeks
* Perform exercise testing using a leg press
* Answer questionnaires regarding perceived workload and motivation before and after exercise
