Lean Body Mass Associated with Upper Body Strength in Healthy Older Adults While Higher Body Fat Limits Lower Extremity Performance and Endurance
Impaired strength adversely influences an older person's ability to perform activities of daily living. A cross-sectional study of 117 independently living men and women (age = 73.4 ± 9.4 year; body mass index (BMI) = 27.6 ± 4.8 kg/m²) aimed to assess the association between body composition and: (1) upper body strength (handgrip strength, HGS); (2) lower extremity performance (timed up and go ...
متن کاملEffects of combined exercise on changes of lower extremity muscle activation during walking in older women
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the effects of combined exercise for a period of 12 weeks on the changes in lower extremity muscle activation during walking in older women. [Subjects] The subjects of this study were 22 elderly women who were 65 years of age or older and living in B-City. The subjects had no nervous system or muscular system diseases that might affect walk...
متن کاملLower-extremity Strength, Power and Knee Loading in Young Women
INTRODUCTION The peak knee adduction moment (PKAM) is a gait measure which best represents the mechanical pathology associated with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Recent research has focused on whether the PKAM is modified by muscle function. While knee strengthening exercises reduce pain and improve quality of life, strengthening has little effect on the PKAM in OA [1]. Lower-limb muscle power is m...
متن کاملCorrelates of decline in lower extremity performance in older women: A 10-year follow-up study.
