Urinary creatinine excretion is an indicator of physical performance and function [PDF]

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2022
Muscle mass is essential for performing physical activity, and low muscle mass (sarcopenia) has been found to have a strong association with all-cause mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).1 However, muscle mass is not routinely assessed in clinical practice and low muscle mass can easily go unnoticed in obese patients (sarcopenic obesity ...

Physical functional capacity in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: performance characteristics of the continuous-scale physical function performance test [PDF]

Expert Review of Respiratory Medicine, 2015
Physical functional capacity is impaired in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). There is no tool to measure this key clinical outcome. The continuous-scale physical function performance (CS-PFP) test is one that assesses activities of daily living, but it has never been used in IPF.We determined internal consistency of the CS-PFP. We used correlations

Correlates of Physical Functioning and Performance Across the Spectrum of Kidney Function [PDF]

Clinical Nursing Research, 2017
The aim of this study was to determine the extent to which poor physical functioning, low participation in physical activity, and muscle atrophy observed among patients on hemodialysis are evident in the earlier stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD). We enrolled adults in three groups: no CKD, Stages 3 to 4 CKD, and hemodialysis.

Assessing physical functioning in otolaryngology: feasibility of the short physical performance battery [PDF]

American Journal of Otolaryngology, 2014
Objective measures of physical functioning and mobility are considered to be the strongest indicators of overall health and mortality risk in older adults. These measures are not routinely used in otolaryngology research. We investigated the feasibility of using a validated physical performance battery to assess the functioning of older adults seen in ...

Dynamics of Recovery of Physiological Parameters After a Small-Sided Game in Women Soccer Players

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Purpose: Training methods based on small-sided game (SSG) seem to promote physiological and tactical benefits for soccer players as they present characteristics more specific to the game.

Age, diabetes mellitus, and dialysis modality are associated with risk of poor muscle strength and physical function in hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients [PDF]

Kidney Research and Clinical Practice, 2021
Background Due to the poor outcomes associated with the impairment of physical function and muscle strength in patients on maintenance dialysis, it is important to understand the factors that may influence physical function and muscle strength.

Exercise alters the circadian rhythm of REV-ERB-α and downregulates autophagy-related genes in peripheral and central tissues

Scientific Reports, 2022
The transcriptional repressor REV-ERB-α, encoded by Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 1 Group D Member 1 (Nr1d1), has been considered to play an essential role in the skeletal muscle oxidative capacity adaptation and muscle mass control.

The effect of different jaw positions on upper extremity performance, core endurance, and postural stability: A cross-sectional study

Turkish Journal of Kinesiology, 2023
The jaw sensorimotor system has functional relationships with other parts of the body through neuroanatomical and biomechanical interactions. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of different jaw positions on upper extremity performance, core

A brief clinical tool to assess physical function: The mini-physical performance test [PDF]

Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics, 2010
The aim was to develop a brief physical performance assessment tool that can be reliably used to detect physical impairment in older adults with and without mild dementia. Scores on the 9-item physical performance test (PPT) from non-demented participants were used to develop and validate the 4-item mini-PPT.

Physical and functional performance assessment in pediatric oncology: a systematic review [PDF]

Pediatric Research, 2021
Abstract Background Research indicates reduced physical performance from diagnosis into survivorship of pediatric cancer patients. However, there is no systematic information or guideline available on the methods to assess physical performance and function in this population. The purpose was to systematically compile and
