Presents an abstract of the study `Respiratory Muscle Strength in the Elderly,' by M.T.A. Villar, L. Dow et al, presented during the Communications to the Spring Meeting of the British Geriatrics Society on Apr...
aWalking has traditionally been recommended for increasing physical activity to reduce the number of falls[8]. Studies have demonstrated positive effects of walking programs on postural stability[9] and muscle strength in the elderly. 走为增加体育活动减少秋天8的数量传统上被推荐了()。 研究展示了走...

cardiopulmonary, and other related diseases in older adults. However, there seems to be no consensus on the improvement and comparison of physical performance, balance, and muscle strength in the elderly population.
Although we have found that protease-treated royal jelly (pRJ) benefit for the skeletal muscle mass and strength in the aged animals, the potential beneficial effects have not been evaluated in humans. The aim of this study was to determine whether pRJ intake had beneficial effects on muscle st...

Falls are common in older adults and result in adverse outcomes. Impaired mobility and poor muscle strength have been consistently identified as the main contributors to falls. We choose three easy-to-perform tests (i.e. Timed Up and Go test (TUGT), walking speed (WS) and grip strength (...
1.For probing into the influences of the loaded leg extension exercise on the middle-aged and the elderly smuscle strength of lower extremitiesand balance ability,this paper took 50 Nanjing community citizens aged from 56 to 72 as research objects,carried on 12 weeks loaded leg extension exercise...
Muscle strength also plays an important role in fall prevention. Grip strength (GS) is an indicator of trunk muscle strength and lower limb muscle strength13,14, and can also be used to identify the risk of falling among the elderly15. Although previous studies have proved these three tests ...
Muscle strength explained ~ 12% and ~ 7% of the variance in 6-min walk gait speed and 5x-chair rise time, respectively (p < 0.02). Lean mass explained 32% and ~ 4% of the variance in stair climb power and complex functional task time, respectively (p < 0.02...
