Abstract Static stretching (SS) is commonly used to prevent or improve limited joint mobility. However, it unclear whether the components of muscle‐tendon unit (MTU) are affected by 5 min SS. This study investigated acute and prolonged effect SS on mechanical properties MTU. The subjects comprised 15 male participants (mean age: 21.5 ± 1.6 years). MTU stiffness, muscle tendon fascicle length gastrocnemius were measured ultrasonography a dynamometer while ankle was passively dorsiflexed....
Hyperglycemia is a risk factor for sarcopenia when comparing individuals with and without diabetes. However, no studies have investigated whether the findings could be extrapolated to patients diabetes relatively higher glycemic levels. Here, we aimed clarify control was associated in type 2 diabetes.Study participants consisted of (n = 746, average age 69.9 years) an older general population 2,067, 68.2 years). Sarcopenia defined as weak grip strength or slow usual gait speed low skeletal...
Abstract Background The accumulation of advanced glycation end product (AGE) might exert deleterious effects on musculoskeletal properties. Our study aims to clarify this possible association in a large general population. Methods This investigated population 9,203 patients (mean age, 57.8 years). Skeletal muscle mass was measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis, whereas AGEs assessed skin autofluorescence (SAF-AGE). strength upper and lower limbs usual gait speed were portion older (≥60...
The aims of this study were to investigate the effects a 4-week intervention static stretching (SS) on muscle hardness semitendinosus (ST), semimembranosus (SM) and biceps femoris (BF) muscles. Shear elastic modulus was measured by using ultrasound shear wave elastography as index hardness. Thirty healthy men (age 22.7 ± 2.2 years) volunteered for randomly assigned SS group (n = 15) or control 15). Participants in received stretch hamstrings their dominant leg. moduli at initial evaluation...
Few studies have examined balance training of elderly people using wobble boards. This study assessed the effects board on physical function in institutionalized people. 23 subjects (age 84.2 ± 5.9 years) who lived a nursing home. The exercise program for group comprised standing 9 weeks, twice week. In all, 11 and control completed this study. After time board, mat, maximum displacement distance anterior-posterior center pressure were significantly greater than those group. Frequency...
Aim: The aims of this study were to investigate the influence age on muscle stiffness and examine relationships among stiffness, thickness, subcutaneous fat strength power in elderly women. Methods: subjects 16 young (mean 20.3 years) 34 84.2 Muscle right quadriceps femoris was measured at rest during a maximal voluntary isometric contraction using myotonometer, computerized, electronic tissue compliance meter. Thicknesses rectus vastus intermedius muscles overlying ultrasound. Quadriceps...
Objective: To investigate the effects of high-velocity resistance training on muscle function, properties, and physical performance in patients with hip osteoarthritis by comparison those low-velocity training. Design: Single-blind randomized controlled trial. Setting: Home-based exercise programmes. Subjects: A total 46 women were randomly assigned to ( n = 23) or group. Interventions: Both groups underwent an eight-week daily home-based programme using elastic band. Exercises involved...

J Strength Cond Res 36(2): 359-364, 2022-Muscle immediately after exercise may be metabolic stress. The accumulation of stress is considered to promote several weeks training (RT). purpose this study was determine the relationship first session RT a 6-week using ultrasonography. Twenty-two untrained young men performed knee...
Purpose: Ultrasound-based prediction methods for the detection of low muscle mass sarcopenia in older adults have been explored previously; however, that most accurately predicts it is unclear. This study aimed to clarify accuracy and cut-off values ultrasound-derived thigh lower leg thickness (MT) detect skeletal index (SMI) estimate based on two standard deviations (SD) below younger adult means corresponding muscles as an early tool site-specific mass. Methods: included 204...
Abstract Background The Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) proposed the concept of locomotive syndrome (LS) in 2007 for detecting high-risk individuals with mobility limitation. In 2020, JOA revised clinical decision limits and introduced LS stage 3, which carried highest-risk compared to conventional stages, 1 2. purpose this study was characterize prevalence, comorbidities, physical characteristics each stage, as per criteria 2020. Methods We analyzed 2077 participants (64.9% women;...
