Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The present study is an attempt to determine the relationship between selected anthropometric measurements and the loss of muscular strength of selected muscle groups following the physical activity of carrying a weight for a specified distance, resulting in local and general muscular fatigue. The present overall study at Springfield College was aimed to investigate the following: since muscle groups may be overworked and thus weakened, when carrying loads, it is proposed to determine the effect of various loads, carried in different positions on the body upon the strength of involved muscle groups.
Download or read book Body Composition and Physical Performance written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1992-02-01 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book surveys the entire field of body composition as it relates to performance. It includes a clear definition of terminology and a discussion of the various methods for measuring body composition. The authored papers represent a state-of-the-art review of this controversial field and address questions such as: What is a better measure of body compositionâ€"body fat or lean body mass? Does being overweight for one's height really affect performance? The book also addresses the issue of physical appearance as it relates to body fatness and performance. It includes an in-depth discussion of many of the topics of interest to those involved in sports medicine and exercise physiology.

Book excerpt: The 2nd World Congress on Genetics, Geriatrics and Neurodegenerative Disease Research (GeNeDis 2016), will focus on recent advances in geriatrics and neurodegeneration, ranging from basic science to clinical and pharmaceutical developments and will provide an international focum for the latest scientific discoveries, medical practices, and care initiatives. Advances information technologies will be discussed along with their implications for various research, implementation, and policy concerns. In addition, the conference will address European and global issues in the funding of long-term care and medico-social policies regarding elderly people. GeNeDis 2016 takes place in Sparta, Greece, 20-23 October, 2016. This volume focuses on the sessions that address geriatrics.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although maintaining an optimal level of muscle quality in older persons is necessary to prevent falls and disability, there has been limited research on muscle quality across age and gender groups. The associations of muscle quality, muscle strength, and muscle mass also remain less explored. Purpose: This study examined the muscle quality differences (arm and leg) between healthy young and elderly adults across gender groups. This study also examined the associations of muscle quality, muscle strength, and muscle mass in young and elderly adults, respectively. Methods: Seventy-one total subjects were recruited for this study within age groups 20-29 years old (20 females and 20 males) and 60-80 years old (18 females and 13 males). All participants completed anthropometric measures, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, pulse wave velocity, handgrip strength and leg strength tests, gait speed, and sit to stand test. Results: Young male adults had a greater leg muscle quality index (leg MQI) than did elderly male adults (21.8 Nm/kg vs. 16.3 Nm/kg, p = 0.001). Similarly, young female adults had a greater leg MQI than did old female adults (21.3 Nm/kg and 15.6 Nm/kg, p

Download or read book Sarcopenia written by Alfonso J. Cruz-Jentoft and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-06-15 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SARCOPENIA An in-depth examination of sarcopenia’s underexplored yet widespread impact within the field of gerontology Sarcopenia is common in older men and women, and yet awareness of its clinical relevance is still relatively low. Only formally included in the International Classification of Diseases in 2016, the condition may impact societies with serious health-related and financial consequences unless consistent, effective methods of identification and management are adopted. This second edition of Sarcopenia provides geriatricians and other healthcare professionals with a revised and expanded examination of this understudied and underdiagnosed condition. Edited by two leading authorities on the subject, it covers the epidemiology and diagnosis of sarcopenia, as well as treatment options and possible prevention strategies. Eight newly written chapters build upon existing knowledge with fresh data on topics including sarcopenia’s biomarkers and its impact on the healthcare economy. This important text: Defines sarcopenia and explains its clinical relevance Covers all recent scientific evidence Outlines treatment options Considers prevention strategies Discusses sarcopenia as a public health priority Features eight new chapters covering topics such as sarcopenia’s clinical management, its biomarkers, and its financial impact Containing vital information for clinicians and other professionals working in geriatric care, nursing homes, nutrition, cancer, endocrinology, surgery, sports medicine and many other specialties, Sarcopenia, second edition, is a groundbreaking and essential new resource.
Download or read book Changes in Strength Anthropometric Measurements and Cardiovascular Function as a Consequence of Participation in a Coed Weight Training Course written by Wiriya Boonchai and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in the weight training responses of college males and females on the development of muscular strength, body weight, body composition, muscular hypertrophy, and cardiovascular fitness. A total of 60 males and 60 females volunteered to participate in this study. They were enrolled in coed beginning weight training classes at the Oregon State University, which met for a period of 11 weeks with two 60-minute sessions per week. The training format for both sexes was essentially identical. The training method used involved low repetition-high resistance alternating with high repetition-low resistance. Assessments of strength, body composition, circumferences and cardiovascular fitness were made at the beginning and at the conclusion of the study period. The two-tailed t̲ test for paired comparisons and one-way analysis of covariance were used to analyze the data. The results indicated that both males and females gained strength but the males gained significantly more than females. The males experienced a significant weight gain, with a significant amount of fat exchanged for an increase in lean body mass, while the females experienced practically no weight change. Though female subjects gained significantly in strength, their waist circumference decreased significantly and the girth size of other muscle groups did not change. The girth size of only the calf muscle increased for the male subjects. Both groups demonstrated nearly the same improvement on cardiovascular fitness.

This book was released on 2012-12-10 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical fitness affects our ability to function and be active. At poor levels, it is associated with such health outcomes as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Physical fitness testing in American youth was established on a large scale in the 1950s with an early focus on performance-related fitness that gradually gave way to an emphasis on health-related fitness. Using appropriately selected measures to collected fitness data in youth will advance our understanding of how fitness among youth translates into better health. In Fitness Measures and Health Outcomes in Youth, the IOM assesses the relationship between youth fitness test items and health outcomes, recommends the best fitness test items, provides guidance for interpreting fitness scores, and provides an agenda for needed research. The report concludes that selected cardiorespiratory endurance, musculoskeletal fitness, and body composition measures should be in fitness surveys and in schools. Collecting fitness data nationally and in schools helps with setting and achieving fitness goals and priorities for public health at an individual and national level.
