... ) and faster VO 2 recovery kinetics are associated with higher muscle strength and physical capacity. Yet, this relationship in healthy older adults remains unclear. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to determine whether a higher VO 2peak and faster VO 2 recovery kinetics are associated with higher...

...Ta-Wei Lee; Pei-Yu Kao; Yang-Ching Chen; Sen-Te Wang Background: Previous studies and meta-analyses have explored the relationship among testosterone, muscle strength, and physical function, to the best of our knowledge, no meta-analysis has investigated the effects of testosterone replacement...

... Sarcopenia Social isolation Muscle strength Five-time chair-stand test Sarcopenia is a common skeletal muscle disorder characterized by the progressive loss of muscle mass and strength that typically occurs from approximately 40 years of age and accelerates after 70 years [ 1 ]. According...

... by osteoblasts, is a versatile factor that participates in bone turnover and muscle adaptation. The role of osteocalcin in muscle strength has mainly been discussed in animal models and requires more human data. The study aimed to investigate the association between the serum osteocalcin level and handgrip...

..., and limitations in the use of diagnostic tests for muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical performance. Prevention and management of acute sarcopenia rely on exercise during admission, but the quality of evidence is still low. Nutritional intervention and drugs may have a role, but more research is needed...

... Muscle strength Physical therapy Respiratory exercises Population aging is a global phenomenon: globally, the share of population aged 65 years or over is expected to increase from 9.3% in 2020 to around 16% in 2050 [ 1 ]. Natural lung aging is associated with molecular and physiological...

... of suprahyoid muscle strength is essential for dysphagia rehabilitation. A jaw-opening sthenometer has been developed for the assessment of suprahyoid muscle strength in relation to the jaw-opening muscles. This is because the jaw-opening muscles and some of the suprahyoid muscles, such as the mylohyoid...

... specific-population cut-off points for muscle strength and appendicular muscle mass, the prevalence of probable sarcopenia with EWGSOP2 was higher (46.5%; p < 0.001) than EWGSOP (1.8%). The agreement between EGWGSOP and EWGSOP2 was moderated ( K = 0.48; IC = 0.42–0.52). Conclusion: The new EWGSOP2...

... physical performance variants, step length had closer relationship with muscle strength than repeated chair stands. Conclusions: The detection of gastrocnemius muscle by shear wave elastography reflected the change of lower-limb muscle stiffness with aging. Muscle contractive stiffness and step length...

Results: Prevalence rates of sarcopenia varied between 0 and 15% in healthy elderly participants and between 2 and 34% in geriatric outpatients. Conclusion: This study clearly demonstrates the dependency...

... training (CIT) involves exercises that are challenging for both trunk muscles and postural control and may thus have the potential to induce benefits in trunk muscle strength, spinal mobility and balance performance. Objective: The objective was to investigate the effects of CIT on measures of trunk muscle...

...Robert Weale; Martin Weale Background: A recent study has shown that biomarkers relating to the variation of muscle strength with age exhibited gender differences. Objective: To discover whether gender differences in kyphosis and its progression with age might be explained in a related manner...

...Martin J. Spink; Mohammad R. Fotoohabadi; Hylton B. Menz Background: Age-related reduction in lower limb muscle strength has been shown to be related to disability, falls and loss of independence. While there have been a number of studies on age-related changes in muscle strength, they have...

...: Eighty-two volunteers participated in this study and were divided into six groups according to their chronological age (60s, 70s and 80s and above) and gender (male, female). Isometric muscle strength was measured at the knee and hip joints at three positions through the joint range using a custom-built...
