Impact of probiotics on muscle mass, muscle strength and lean mass: a systematic review and meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2022
Probiotics have shown potential to counteract sarcopenia, although the extent to which they can influence domains of sarcopenia such as muscle mass and strength in humans is unclear.

Effect of blood‐flow restricted vs heavy‐load strength training on muscle strength: Systematic review and meta‐analysis

Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports, 2020
Heavy‐load strength training (HLT) is generally considered the Gold Standard exercise modality for inducing gains in skeletal muscle strength. However, use of heavy external exercise loads may be contraindicative in frail individuals. Low‐load resistance

Normative values of muscle strength across ages in a ‘real world’ population: results from the longevity check‐up 7+ project

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2020
Low muscle strength is a powerful predictor of negative health‐related events and a key component of sarcopenia. The lack of normative values for muscle strength across ages hampers the practical appraisal of this parameter.

Quadriceps muscle strength in scoliosis [PDF]

European Respiratory Journal, 2009
Quadriceps muscle weakness is an important component of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We hypothesised that quadriceps weakness would also be a feature of restrictive lung disease due to scoliosis.We studied 10 patients with severe scoliosis (median (interquartile range (IQR)) forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1)35.3 (11)% predicted ...

Diagnostic accuracy of the five times stand-to-sit test for the screening of global muscle weakness in community-dwelling older women

Experimental Gerontology, 2023
Background: Although the 5 times stand-to-sit test (5TSST) is indicated for screening for muscle weakness in older adults, its validity is based only on the correlation with quadriceps muscle strength or with the muscle strength of a few muscle groups of

Association of Low Muscle Mass and Isokinetic Strength with Metabolic Syndrome

Journal of Men's Health, 2020
Background and objectives Sarcopenia and metabolic syndrome (MetS) increase incidence with age. This study evaluated the prevalence of MetS in middle-age to elderly men according to knee and grip strength and muscle mass. Methods Data from 256 males aged
