Filter by:The proposed study will examine the use and effectiveness of a novel strength training device - The S-Press within an NHS environment. The S-Press is a portable exercise device that can be used seated or lying down and specifically targets the knee extensors and flexors. The knee extensors are particularly important in the performance of activities of daily living such as rising from a chair, walking up and down stairs and walking. Resistance training is the most effective strategy to help to reduce muscle wasting in response to ageing or chronic disuse; however as current in-patient settings likely fail to produce an overload stimulus to the muscle for hypertrophy and strength gains, there is a need to develop new interventions and equipment to help deliver this. The S-Press is designed by a Physiotherapist with the goal of increasing muscle strength and improving physical function in patients who may be confined to their bed or chair or unable to join in with standard physiotherapy treatments. This mixed methods study will examine the efficacy of the S-Press to improve muscle size using B-Mode Ultrasound and physical function, using sit to stand x5 with use over 6 weeks, alongside the qualitative experience of the use of the S-Press through a one to one semi structured interview.
Sarcopenia and frailty could be prevented and rehabilitated through individual physical activities in the form of combined exercise that could be practiced at home in daily life.
The general aim of the present study is to create and empirically evaluate (RCT trial) an online education and exercise program (called PERMANENTO) to help older adults to understand the wider consequences of being active and offer them easy to follow exercise program inspired by developmental kinesiology.
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore whether the bioindicators of body composition, nutrition-related indicators (lymphocytes, albumin), lipids, and thyroid hormones are associated with sarcopenia and the changes in these indicators after an intensive lifestyle intervention. The main questions it aims to answer are: - whether the bioindicators such as lymphocytes, albumin, lipids, thyroid hormones, fat mass, fat-free mass, and basal metabolic mass are associated with the development of sarcopenia. - the changes of these bioindicators that occur in older adults after going through an intensive intervention. Participants will receive a 3-month intensive intervention consisting of an intensive nutritional intervention and an individually designed exercise intervention. Nutritional and exercise prescriptions are co-designed through a nutritionist and rehabilitation physician. Researchers will compare bioindicators in the sarcopenia group before and after intensive lifestyle intervention to determine the association with sarcopenia.
Aim: Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) is a systemic disease of connective tissue, it can also contribute to sarcopenia and chronic musculoskeletal pain with common pathways. 1. First aim of this study was to investigate whether the rate of sarcopenia is higher in patients with PEX 2. Second aim was to investigate the association between PEX, sarcopenia parameters and chronic musculoskeletal pain. Methods: A total of 96-patients were enrolled in this study and divided into two groups: PEX-positive (n=48) and PEX-negative (n=48) patients. The variables: the demographic data, sarcopenia parameters (SARC-F-questionnaire, hand-grip strength, chair-rise test, gait speed) and pain parameters (having any chronic musculoskeletal pain, pain regions and visual analogue scale-pain).
The goal of this quasi-experimental pilot study is to evaluate the effect of a multi-component intervention in women between 55 and 75 years old at risk of sarcopenia. The main question it aims to answer are: What is the effect of a multi-component intervention in women at risk of sarcopenia? Participants will twelve women between 55 and 75 years old with risk of sarcopenia, who agreed through written informed consent for participate 12 weeks with 24 sessions included dancing, resistance exercises, and nutritional education. The outcomes were muscle mass, grip strength, gait speed and body composition. The effects were measured before and after the intervention, under a self-controlled design.
Bone and skeletal muscle are in a single unit that interacts with each other structurally and functionally. The aim of this study is to determine the contribution of bone myoregulation reflex as a neuronal crosstalk mechanism on the development of sarcopenia in postmenopausal and senile osteoporosis
In this study, our aim is to determine the reference values for the handgrip force and bioimpedance values in healthy Turkish children.
Studies conducted so far added the dietary supplements along with resistance training as an intervention, we could not determine whether the observed effects of the intervention were due to the training program and/or dietary supplements.
The objective of this clinical trial is to compare the health conditions of the participating population before and after an intervention with Resveratrol enriched wine. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. • The consumption of wine enriched with resveratrol could slow down or reverse the biological age ? 2. • The consumption of wine enriched with resveratrol could improve body composition fat mass / muscle mass ? The participants will be evaluated at the beginning and at the end of the clinical trial and will adopt only one change in their habits, that is, change the usual wine they consume with their meals for a wine enriched with resveratrol, in a moderate measure, 250 cc for men and 125 cc/day for women. The design of the study will be that each volunteer is their own control, pre and post intervention.
