The potential impact of a specific physical activity program on biomechanical gait parameters and neuromuscular strategies around the ankle joint in older adults with sarcopenic obesity (SO) remains largely unexplored. objective this study was to investigate effectiveness 24-week posture, strengthening, motricity (PSM) improving SO. 40 participants were randomly assigned either trained group (TG) control (CG). Only TG received PSM program. Standardized evaluations performed before after...
Background Excessive body weight is associated with gait alterations. In none of previous studies, fat distribution has been considered as a factor that could change parameters and induce different neuromuscular adaptations. Objective This multicenter, analytical, cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the influence mass on ankle muscle coactivation in obese individuals. Methods Three distinct groups were included study: non-obese control group (CG, n = 15, average age 32.8 ± 6.5 years,...

Obesity is increasingly recognized as a significant factor in the susceptibility of older adults to falls and related injuries. While existing literature has established connection between obesity reduced postural stability during stationary stances, direct implications on walking dynamics, particularly among with sarcopenia, are not yet comprehensively understood.Firstly, investigate influence steady-state proactive balance, well gait characteristics, sarcopenic (SO); secondly, unearth...
The rising prevalence of sarcopenic obesity (SO) among older adults— characterized by an increase in rates coupled with a decline muscle mass—presents significant health challenge. This condition adversely affects postural control and neuromuscular functions, which are crucial for performing daily activities. Despite the critical impact SO, there has been scant research on benefits customized physical activity programs aimed to improve stability performance this demographic. study protocol...
The literature offers limited information on the effect of obesity rate force development, a critical parameter for mobility in older adults. objectives this study were; to explore influence RFD adults and examine association between neuromuscular walking speed. 42 were classified into two groups: control group (CG, n=22; age=81.13±4.02 years; Body mass index (BMI)=25.13±3.35 kg/m²), obese (OG, n=20; age=77.71±2.95 BMI=34.46±3.25 kg/m²). Walking speed (m/s) was measured using 10-meter test....

Background: The rate of force development (RFD) plays a pivotal role not only in preventing falls but also ensuring successful completion many functional tasks that demand swift muscle power rather than prolonged strength. Despite its importance, there is limited compre-hensive research on the relationship between RFD and walking speed, especially older adults with Sarcopenic Obesity (SO). Objective: to investigate influence obesity neuromuscular markers SO assess gait speed SO. Methods:...
