      <dc:description>In this work we aimed to perform a systematic review of randomized controlled trials&#xd;
within an aging population that investigated the general impacts of a resistance training (RT) protocol&#xd;
on key outcome measures relating to gait and/or balance. Following the Preferred Reporting Items&#xd;
for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) statement guidelines, two electronic databases&#xd;
(PubMed, and Scopus) were searched for randomized controlled trials that measured at least one&#xd;
key outcome measure focusing on gait and/or balance in older adults. 3794 studies were identified,&#xd;
and after duplicates were removed, 1913 studies remained. 1886 records were removed due to the&#xd;
abstract not meeting the inclusion criteria. 28 full-text articles were assessed further, and 20 of the&#xd;
articles were identified as meeting the criteria for inclusion. The remaining 20 studies were assessed&#xd;
for quality using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale; 12 studies remained and were&#xd;
included in this systematic review. Our review suggests that RT has a positive effect on both gait and&#xd;
balance in an elderly population. RT improves gait, specifically straight-line walking speed in older&#xd;
adults. RT is an adequate training method to improve balance in an aging population. Improvements&#xd;
in strength, attributed to RT, may allow for greater autonomy and independence to carry out activities&#xd;
of daily living as we age.</dc:description>
