World Health Organization Healthy Ageing model applied to adults with cerebral palsy: A systematic review of reported intrinsic capacity measures

open access: yesDevelopmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
This systematic review reports on quantitative measures of intrinsic capacity domains of the WHO Healthy Ageing model for adults with CP. Reports from 102 studies showed reduced locomotor, vitality andn possibly cognitive intrinsic capacity reserves for adults aged 30–45 years.

Passive thigh heating improves peak force production in younger adults and early isokinetic force production in younger and older adults

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Older adults often suffer from reduced physical capability relative to young adults, in part due to impaired muscle function. This study investigated the ergogenic effects of passive thigh heating on knee extensor torque production in healthy older versus younger adults.

Exercise during 14 days of head down tilt bedrest attenuates motor unit impairments in older humans

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Head‐down tilt bedrest (HDBR) models the effects of mechanical unloading on neuromuscular function. The efficacy of exercise in preserving motor unit (MU) function in older adults during HDBR remains unclear. This study investigated the effects of 14‐day HDBR on MU properties in older adults and the protective role of exercise.

Gender and limb effects on adult normative data for the Biodex Balance System

open access: yesKinesiology, 2023
Posturography normative data in healthy populations is crucial for several reasons including monitoring the independence issues related to activities of daily living (ADLs), fall and incapacity avoidance, and residual injury impairment. The Biodex Balance System requires updated normative data regarding healthy persons because of recent revisions to ...

Impact of 14 days of head‐down bed rest and an exercise countermeasure on skeletal muscle atrophy, proteome and circulatory cytokines in older adults

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Prolonged bed rest and immobilization have deleterious effects on skeletal muscle mass and function, especially in older adults. These can lead to reduced physical capacity and quality of life. Previous experiments in younger individuals show that exercise can mitigate these effects, but evidence remains scarce and inconclusive in older adults.

Stroke neurovascular responses to exercise: A novel rehabilitation paradigm

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Stroke is a leading cause of long‐term disability, impacting the cerebrovascular, peripheral vascular and neuromotor systems. Characterising vascular responses to exercise post‐stroke offers valuable insights into the impairments that might influence outcomes during neurorehabilitation.

Knee extension strength and handgrip strength are important predictors of Timed Up and Go test performance among community-dwelling elderly women: a cross-sectional study

open access: yesSão Paulo Medical Journal, 2021
BACKGROUND: Handgrip and knee extension strengths have each been used to characterize disability. However, it has been reported that the association between handgrip and knee extension strengths is weak.

Antioxidant supplementation blunts the proteome response to 3 weeks of sprint interval training preferentially in human type 2 muscle fibres

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Sprint interval training (SIT) is a popular time‐efficient type of endurance training. Healthy young men performed nine SIT sessions (4–6 × 30 s all‐out cycling sprints) over 3 weeks while being supplemented with antioxidants (high doses of vitamins C and E) or placebo. Muscle biopsies taken before and after the first SIT session

Relationship between ankle range of motion and Biodex Balance System in females and males [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Exercise Rehabilitation, 2018
This study examined whether there are differences between range of motion (ROM) and balance in lower extremities according to gender. A total of 31 male and 28 female students measured plantar flexion (PF), dorsiflexion, inversion (IV), eversion (EV), hip flexion (HF), hip internal rotation (HIR), and hip external rotation (HER) and tested on the ...

Significant Deficits Are Seen in Extensor Muscle Performance but Not Flexor Muscle Performance 6 Months After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using a Rectus Femoris Tendon Autograft

open access: yesArthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation, Volume 8, Issue 4, August 2026.
Purpose To evaluate bilateral isokinetic performance symmetry of knee extensors and flexors 6 months after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using a rectus femoris tendon autograft. Methods This retrospective case series included patients consecutively recruited at a single tertiary sports medicine center between January 2023 and July 2024 ...
