Eliminating risk factors for falls leads to reduction of the incidence frailty. The recommended training program used only body weight resistance and no equipment prepare quick movements in daily living community-dwelling older adults is unknown. Thus, we compared effects weight-bearing with (WEM) without explosive motions (WOEM). Sixty were randomly assigned WEM WOEM groups. group performed concentric phase during repetitions quickly it at traditional velocity. designated programs consisted...

Abstract Background Low muscle strength has been focused on as an essential characteristic of sarcopenia, and the 30-s chair stand test (CS-30) could be a particularly useful for assessing strength. While it is speculated to beneficial tool assessment this remains verified. In study, we examined reliability optimal diagnostic score CS-30 sarcopenia in elderly Japanese participants. Methods This cross-sectional study included 678 participants (443 females 235 males) who underwent per Asian...

Physical exercise has been linked to reduced frailty, but there is insufficient evidence of beneficial effects in community-dwelling older adults with subjective cognitive concerns.This study aimed clarify the physical this population.Single-blind randomised controlled trial.Community sports centres.Residents aged 65-85 years were screened using Kihon checklist; those concerns invited for eligibility assessment. In total, 415 enrolled and randomised.This trial investigated aerobic training...

This study aimed to evaluate the association between locomotive syndrome (LS) and daily physical activity (PA) in community-dwelling older adults. cross-sectional included 80 healthy Japanese adults (40 men 40 women; age: 60-79 years). Habitual PA was evaluated using a triaxial wrist accelerometer. Participants were divided into two groups based on results of two-step test, stand-up 25-question geriatric function scale. Binomial logistic regression analysis conducted examine statistical...

Locomotive syndrome (LS) is associated with weakness and loss of function in the musculoskeletal organs. We aimed to determine association between LS components blood parameters middle-aged elderly individuals.We included 223 individuals this study (104 men 119 women; age: 40-85 years). All participants were asked fast for at least 3 h before venous samples obtained hemoglobin, total protein, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), growth hormone, albumin lipid profile measured. Three functional tests,...

To investigate the relationship between muscle oxygenation (specifically, levels of oxygenated haemoglobin and myoglobin [oxyHb/Mb]) during maximal running fibre composition, to determine whether composition can be non-invasively estimated from oxyHb/Mb running.Eight male runners ([Formula: see text], 60.9± 4.6 mL·kg-1·min-1) performed an incremental test on a treadmill. OxyHb/Mb vastus lateralis were measured by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Muscle was determined biopsy samples same...

Aim Here, we aimed to compare the effect of a combination body mass‐based resistance exercise and moderate‐intensity (55% peak oxygen uptake [ O 2 peak]) walking or high‐intensity (75% peak) on muscle size in untrained older women. Methods A total 12 women (mean age 60 ± years) were randomly assigned either aerobic training group ( n = 6) 6). Both groups carried out body‐mass based (lower body) exercises (2 sets 10 repetitions) 3 days/week for 8 weeks. Between these exercises, participants...

[Purpose] This study aimed to identify the efficacy of a progressive walking program on risk developing locomotive syndrome among untrained elderly Japanese people. [Participants and Methods] Twenty-four individuals (68 ± 4 years) completed 17-week program. The stand-up, two-step tests 25-question geriatric function scale were used assess at baseline, 8-week midpoint (2 months), endpoint (4 months). Maximal isometric muscle strength knee extensors flexors measured using dynamometer with hip...

Although locomotive syndrome (LS) is a condition of reduced mobility, little information available regarding the loss site-specific skeletal muscle mass. The aim present study to examine in elderly males with LS. A total 100 men ranging age from 65 74 years were divided into two groups (LS and non-LS) using LS risk tests including stand-up test, two-step 25-question geriatric function scale Muscle thickness (MTH) at eight sites—anterior posterior thigh (AT PT, respectively), anterior lower...

Older adults, especially those with cognitive decline, often have poor gait performance, which results in clinical outcomes due to falls or decreased daily physical activity. The effects of various exercises on performance been studied, whereas the short-term and long-term different exercise modalities remain unknown.To compare short- aerobic training (AT), resistance (RT), combined (CT) community-dwelling older adults subjective decline (SCD).A four-arm, randomized controlled trial.388 SCD...

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between physical activity (PA) and locomotive syndrome after a 3-month exercise intervention of walking stair climbing in elderly Japanese individuals.

800-m running is supramaximal exercise, which naturally require oxygen supply to lower limbs muscle. In addition, respiratory muscle work specifically severe prevent acidosis attributing lactate because of increasing by prompting CO2 output. Therefore, the event performed with tolerating strain both limb and muscles. However, how changes in muscles oxygenation during remains unclear. We hypothesized that running, would be reduced redistribution blood flow giving priority PURPOSE: To...

Elastic tube exercise results in increased muscle size and strength. It is however not clear whether this type of can enhance aerobic capacity. The combination both walking therefore could be one suggested strategy for improved strength optimal intensity, especially the portion, order to elicit a capacity remains uncertain. PURPOSE: To investigate cardiorespiratory responses combined exercises elderly women between two intensities. METHODS: Twelve (60±2 yrs) were divided into groups: Low...

PURPOSE: Sex differences are evident in human skeletal muscle as the cross-sectional area of individual fibers is greater men than women. In addition, female steroid hormone fluctuates during menstrual cycle phase. We have recently shown that whey peptides intake after resistance exercise stimulates mammalian target rapamycin (mTOR) signaling related to protein synthesis young men. Therefore, purpose this study was determine effects sex and on mTOR following peptide intake. METHODS: Young...

Objective: To examine the effects of 6-month walking and 12-month detraining (DT) on locomotive syndrome (LS) risk stages ability in middle-aged elderly Japanese people.

In humans, aging is associated with declines in physical and cognitive functions. Physical activity exercise have received attention as a potential preventive measure against these age-related functional declines. Locomotive syndrome (LS) condition manifested by high-risk patients musculoskeletal disease who are high likely to require nursing care. can enhance motor, cognitive, social functioning old age. Nursing home residents characteristically older prevalence rates of multiple...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects sex on muscle hypertrophy and strength gain induced by body mass-based resistance training in older adults.

Abstract Background: Locomotive syndrome (LS) is associated with weakness and loss of function in the musculoskeletal organs. To evaluate association between LS daily physical activities (PA) community-dwelling older adults using a three-axis accelerometer. Methods: This cross-sectional study included healthy 80 (40 men 40 women; age: 60-79 years). Three functional tests, two-step test, stand-up 25-question geriatric locomotive scale (GLFS) were used to assess risk LS. Maximal isometric...
