Assessing the total energy expenditure (TEE) and levels of physical activity in free-living conditions with non-invasive techniques remains a challenge. The purpose present study was to investigate accuracy new uniaxial accelerometer for assessing TEE physical-activity-related (PAEE) over 24 h period respiratory chamber, establish based on accelerometry ranges corresponding operationally defined metabolic equivalent (MET) categories. In 1, measurement seventy-nine Japanese subjects (40 (SD...
Methods that facilitate muscle quality measurement may improve the diagnosis of sarcopenia. Current research has focused on phase angle (PhA) obtained through bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) as an indicator cellular health, particularly cell membrane integrity and function. The current study therefore aimed to evaluate relationship between PhA muscle-related parameters determine factors associated with PhA. Moreover, we attempted cut-off value for predicting sarcopenia.First-year...
The purposes of this study were to clarify the effects static stretching for 30 seconds and dynamic on leg extension power. Eleven healthy male students took part in study. Each subject performed 5 muscle groups lower limbs nonstretching separate days. Leg power was measured before after stretching, nonstretching. No significant difference found between (1788.5 +/- 85.7 W) that (1784.8 108.4 W). On other hand, (2022.3 121.0 significantly (p < 0.01) greater than These results suggest neither...
The centromere is essential for the inheritance of genetic information on eukaryotic chromosomes. Epigenetic regulation identity has been implicated in genome stability, karyotype evolution, and speciation. However, little known regarding manner which dysfunction affects chromosomal architectures. Here we show that fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, conditional deletion produces survivors carry either a neocentromere-acquired chromosome at subtelomeric region or an acentric rescued by...
The centromeres of many eukaryotic chromosomes are established epigenetically on potentially variable tandem repeats; hence, these at risk being acentric. We reported previously that artificially created acentric in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe can be rescued by end-to-end fusion with functional chromosomes. Here, we show most acentric/functional chromosome events S. cells harbouring an I differed from non-homologous end-joining-mediated rearrangements result deleterious...

The purpose of the present study was to clarify acute effect dynamic stretching exercise on muscular performance during concentric constant external resistance (DCER, formally called isotonic) muscle actions under various loads. Concentric DCER leg extension power outputs were measured in 12 healthy male students after 2 types pretreatment. pretreatments were: (a) treatment including exercises extensors and other simulating motion (2 sets 15 times each with 30-second rest periods between...
Abstract A chromosome is composed of structurally and functionally distinct domains. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying formation chromatin structure function subtelomeres, telomere-adjacent regions, remain obscure. Here we report roles conserved centromeric protein Shugoshin 2 (Sgo2) in defining functions subtelomeres fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe . We show that Sgo2 localizes at preferentially during G phase essential for a highly condensed subtelomeric body ‘knob’....
Body mass index and waist circumference are used for obesity diagnosis screening of visceral fat; however, their evidence in older adults is insufficient. This study investigated the age-specific association body with metabolic diseases, assessing applicability as diagnostic criteria individuals aged ≥65 years.
The purpose of the present study was to clarify effect static stretching on muscular performance during concentric isotonic (dynamic constant external resistance: DCER) muscle actions under various loads.Concentric DCER leg extension power outputs were assessed in twelve healthy male subjects after two types pre-treatment.The pre-treatments included 1) treatment performing six extensors (4 sets 30-sec each with 20-sec rest periods; total duration: 20-min) and 2) non-stretching by resting for...
Sarcopenic obesity is the co‐existence of and sarcopenia in individuals aged 40–75 years. The Japanese Working Group on Obesity has developed diagnostic criteria tailored for population, considering their unique characteristics compared with European populations. Our algorithm consists two steps: screening diagnosis. mandates using waist circumference and/or body mass index (BMI) based national standards, while involves “finger ring test” addition to Asian Sarcopenia 2019 criteria. final...
Previous studies have indicated that dynamic stretching acutely improves explosive performance, and is now incorporated into warm-up protocols prior to sports activities require performance. The optimal protocol for stretching, however, has not been clarified. purpose of this review clarify the velocity volume (i.e., repetition or distance x set) in improve performance by systematic investigation. For velocity, rate change when was performed "as fast as possible" (7.6 ± 3.8%) significantly...
Aim: Although previous studies have shown that consumption of green tea catechins (GTC) and walking might prevent development cardiovascular disease (CVD), the effects GTC supplementation on CVD risk in active older people are unknown. Methods: A total 52 adults (male/female 20/32, mean age 69.1 ± 5.9 years) participating a pedometer‐based program were randomly assigned to group with an intake 630.9 mg daily ( n = 26) or control for 14 weeks. Cardiovascular markers measured before after this...
Sarcopenia has never been diagnosed based on site-specific muscle loss, and little is known about the relationship between loss metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk factors. To this end, cross-sectional study aimed to investigate size MetS Subjects were 38 obese men women aged 40–82 years. Total body fat lean mass assessed by whole-body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan. Muscle thickness (MTH) was measured using B-mode ultrasound scanning in six regions. classified into general obesity...
