Filter by:According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) in 2017 investigator found that the incidence of type 2 diabetes is currently 425 million people aged 20 to 79 in the world, and this data will increase o 629 million at 2045, The etiology of more than 90% is related to aging, it has become a serious challenge to public health. Sarcopenia is a newly noticed severe syndrome characterized by reduced walking speed, decreased grip strength, and decreased muscle mass. Patients with type 2 diabetes are at risk of sarcopenia and are those with normal blood sugar. One of the main ways to improve the face of sarcopenia is to exercise intensity. By carrying out a gradual training plan instead of using different weights, it will lead to muscle hypertrophy and increase in muscle strength to achieve muscle gain. In view of the fact that the commercially available sandbags are cheap and easy to obtain, the weight is fixed, and the use variability is high, it is expected to introduce quantitative weight-bearing progressive exercises in type 2 diabetes and have symptoms of muscle loss to improve muscle mass, and to control blood sugar. The quality of life can have better benefits.
Participants will be 60-80 y men and women who vary their physical activity (steps/day) while their lipid metabolism is studied (n=24). Thereafter, another group (n=60) will perform 6 months of exercise training focused on developing maximal cycling power, during which their changes in muscle mass and practical function will be carefully measured.
Resistance training have been recommended for sarcopenic patients. However, the whole body vibration training would further benefit for sarcopenic patients on the basis of resistance training remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of the whole body vibration training on improving the mobility of elderly patients with sarcopenia. The whole body vibration involves different frequencies that can improve muscle strength and keep aged upright, including the legs and core. These kinds of exercises can improve stability and help prevent falls.
Randomized parallel study investing the effect of intake of different protein sources (whey, insect and pea) on the muscle protein synthesis. Activation of the signaling pathway leading to muscle protein synthesis is investigated by western blotting and Real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR or PCR). Urine, blood and muscle is moreover investigated by metabolomics analysis.
Frailty is a syndrome in which the accumulation of small, individually insignificant deficits leads to heightened vulnerability to adverse events and predisposes to potential catastrophic decompensation. Objective of this study is to clarify the underlying genetic and immunological mechanisms responsible of frailty condition focused on: i. nephrosclerosis ageing kidney phenotype related to salt effects on immunosystem, ii. immunological aspect of sarcopenia, iii. psychological disorder related to immunosystem activation, iv. detection of new biomarkers of frailty.
Resistance training done at home and protein supplementation may be the most effective and easiest to implement interventions to reverse frailty and build resilience. However, it is not common practice to offer and support such interventions in primary care. This study provides an opportunity to assess the effectiveness of an optimised intervention with community-dwelling adults aged 65 and over, whose baseline clinical frailty score is not worse than mild (i.e. 5 or less), evaluate improvements in health outcomes and demonstrate how the intervention may be incorporated efficiently in clinical practice. The results are intended to encourage mainstream adoption of practical interventions to reverse clinical frailty and build resilience in primary care. An intervention with ten recommended resistance exercises and dietary guidance on protein consumption has been derived from findings of our systematic review and meta-analysis and optimised through a patient and public involvement (PPI) process and feasibility study.
The main purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of whey protein with collagen hydrolyzed following resistance training on body composition, muscular strength, functional capacity, and plasma-metabolism biomarkers in older women
The investigators conduct a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to investigate the effects of Ishige Okamurae extracts on muscle strength, muscle mass, and muscle function in adults with relative sarcopenia for 12 weeks.
The investigators' study published in 2020 (Pekar, M. et al.: The risk of sarcopenia 24 months after bariatric surgery - assessment by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA): a prospective study; Videosurgery Miniinv 2020; https://doi.org/10.5114/wiitm.2020.93463) shows that patients are at risk of sar-copenia after bariatric-metabolic (BM) surgery. BM surgery leads to significant changes in body composition. Significant fat loss is followed by unwanted muscle loss. The study shows that the lack of physical activity is typical for these patients. To the algorithm of postoperative care the investigators plan to include controlled exercise programs for these patients. The investigators do not know what the complexity and time required to keep patients in good condition and reduce the risk of sarcopenia is. The investigators want to find the adequate amount of physical activity while maintaining long-term compliance of these patients.
Controlled, randomized, single-center, double-blind clinical trial, with two parallel branches depending on the product consumed, to measure the efficacy of a supplement extracted from spinach on muscle strength in subjects over 50 years of age.
