Muscle strength and muscle training after stroke

Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine, 2007
For many individuals who have experienced a stroke, muscle weakness is the most prominent impairment. Both the theoretical and statistical relationships between muscle weakness and performance at functional activities suggest that weakness may be an appropriate target for therapeutic interventions.

Persisting side-to-side differences in bone mineral content, but not in muscle strength and tendon stiffness after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

, 2010
Tendon stiffness may be involved in limiting peak musculoskeletal forces and thus may constitute an upper limit for bone strength. The patellar tendon bone (PTB) graft, which is harvested from the patellar tendon during surgical reconstruction of the ...

Early‐life high‐fat diet exposure increases Achilles tendon stiffness and induces transcriptomic alterations

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Early‐life exposure to a high‐fat diet altered intact Achilles tendons in rat offspring, making them thinner, stiffer, and molecularly distinct even without injury. These findings suggest that developmental high‐fat diet exposure may impair tendon quality and increase susceptibility to mechanical overload or tendon injury later in life.

Relationship between hip external rotator strength and pelvic floor muscle function in nulliparous women

Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine
Strengthening of the hip external rotator muscles may improve pelvic floor muscle function. In this study, we examined the relationship between hip external rotator strength and pelvic floor muscle function in nulliparous women.

Hyperactive ice‐binding proteins stabilize cell membranes and improve resistance to dehydration stress in Caenorhabditis elegans

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
TisIBP8, a fungal‐derived hyperactive ice‐binding protein, helps Caenorhabditis elegans survive dehydration. It localizes near cell membranes, reduces cell damage, and helps maintain membrane structure during drying. These results suggest that ice‐binding proteins can protect cells from dehydration stress as well as freezing stress.

The Correlation Between Handgrip Strength and Adductor Muscles with Muscle Mass, Fat Mass in the Elderly

Physical Education Theory and Methodology
Background. As you age, body composition will also change, with muscle mass decreasing and fat mass increasing. Handgrip strength and adductor muscle strength have been identified as indicators of older people’s health used to represent overall strength ...

Trunk muscle strength in athletes

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 1988
Maximal voluntary strength of the trunk muscles was measured in 57 male elite athletes (soccer players, wrestlers, tennis players, and gymnasts), 14 female elite gymnasts, and in a normal group of 87 conscripts. Mean ages in the different groups ranged from 18-22 yr. An isokinetic (constant velocity) technique was used to record maximal torque produced

Personality Typology in Relation to Muscle Strength [PDF]

International Journal of Behavioral Medicine, 2011
Physical inactivity plays a central role in the age-related decline in muscle strength, an important component in the process leading to disability. Personality, a significant determinant of health behaviors including physical activity, could therefore impact muscle strength throughout adulthood and affect the rate of muscle strength decline with aging.
