Although loss of grip strength is strongly associated with increasing chronological age, it is also an independent predictor of disability, frailty (significant loss of capacity), morbidity and mortality5. Importantly, studies on the association between handgrip strength and health-related outcomes have...
The strength of an organization’s culture is an important property that may have implications for organizational structure, performance, diversity, and inclusion, independent of its content. However, progress on conceptualizing and measuring cultural strength has been restricted so far. We propose a no...
Selecting statistically independent measures of urbanization depends upon the nature (multivariate collinearity) and strength (correlation coefficient) of correlations between urban metrics. We evaluated the influence of landscape extent and habitat context, factors that commonly differ between studies, on ...
All body composition measures were performed using whole-body DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) scans (Hologic Scanner, QDR-4500, Bedford, MA). This assessment excluded individuals with a height of >192.5 cm or a weight of >136.4 kg. All metal, excluding false teeth and hearing ai...
Such quantifications take two main forms in the literature: estimation of parameters that govern ambiguity sensitivity in particular preference models; and calculation of measures akin to ambiguity premia. We consider these in turn.Footnote 3 In some cases, models of ambiguity sensitive preference ...
Our aim was to determine several indexes of reproducibility for strength measurements with a hand-held pull-gauge dynamometer (MFB50K) in cancer patients. Two independent testers performed repeated measurements of maximal isometric elbow and knee strength. The measurements were gathered in a convenience...
Measures of strength and fatigability were poorly related; therefore, clinicians may opt to assess hip strength and fatigability independent of each another. 展开 关键词: footedness gluteus medius electromyography median frequency DOI: 10.1152/japplphysiol.00163.2005 被引量: 125 ...
Age had a statistically independent influence on strength and power measures after adjusting for gender, height, weight, caloric expenditure, and muscle mass. Twenty-five-year longitudinal analyses in men confirmed the declines observed cross-sectionally, while no changes were observed in women over ...
Furthermore, the weight of the edge itself contributes to its centrality. This compensates for the fact that even overall weakly connected vertices, with possibly high degrees but low strength, can also be connected by a highly central edge. Overall, nearest-neighbor edge centrality is independent...
In addition, lower body strength was better maintained than measures of upper body strength independent of initial training duration. : This study confirms that older individuals can tolerate a progressive strength training program of significant duration and that older individuals may undergo a ...
