The Reliability and Validity of an Isometric Knee Strength Measurement Device in Older Adult Individuals

Sensors
This study aims to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Leg Strength Analyzer (IB-LS) in assessing isometric knee flexion and extension strength in elderly adults, compare its performance with that of the CSMI dynamometer, and examine its ...

Reliability of isokinetic knee strength measurements in children: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Measuring muscle strength using isokinetic dynamometry allows evaluating and comparing normal and sick children, establishing recovery and rehabilitation goals, and quantitatively monitoring the course of a disease and the response to treatment.

Biologic gracilis augmentation with iliotibial band enhances recovery and lowers complications in ACL reconstruction compared with hamstring plus lateral tenodesis

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To compare the iliotibial band autograft biologically augmented with gracilis (ITBAG) technique with a hamstring tendon autograft combined with extra‐articular lateral tenodesis using fascia lata (HT‐LET), in terms of (1) return‐to‐sport rates, (2) patient‐reported functional outcomes and (3) complication rates.

Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists and muscle strength changes in older adults: Risks beyond muscle mass reductions

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP)/Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) receptor agonists are increasingly prescribed for the management of obesity and type 2 diabetes, yet research pertinent to their effects on muscle health is limited. Considering the central role of muscle strength as a sarcopenia component, this article summarizes emerging ...

Spaceflight and sport science: Physiological monitoring and countermeasures for the astronaut–athlete on Mars exploration missions

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Long‐duration spaceflight impacts essentially every system in the human body, resulting in multisystem deconditioning that might impair the health and performance of crewmembers, particularly on long‐duration exploration missions to Mars. In this review, we apply the sport science model of athlete monitoring, testing and training to astronauts;

Isometric training at longer muscle–tendon complex lengths: A potential countermeasure to impaired neuro‐muscle–tendon function during space travel

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Manned space exploration to distant destinations, including Mars, continues to be an aspiration of humankind. Space travel does, however, present many challenges to the body, amongst which adaptation to microgravity is perhaps the largest. For instance, both short and long manned spaceflight missions have shown substantial deleterious effects ...

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

Experimental 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.
