ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I sincerely thank my thesis committee prof. dr. Tibor Hortobágyi, prof. dr. Paul DeVita, and prof. dr. Urs Granacher. Y'all provided me the great opportunity to perfrom research in your laboratories, which I very much enjoyed. In addition, y'all never stopped sharing your expertise and enthusiasm for research, biomechanics, exercise training, and aging. I learned an awesome lot and had a lot of fun.
I also thank participants who volunteerded, students who gave their time, colleagues, friends, and my family. Y'all at one stage, professionally or personally, contributed to the realization of this thesis.
