The Impact of High Intensity Resistance Training on Strength and Physical Function in Pre-frail and Elderly Women

Book Description
"Advanced age is associated with decreases in strength and physical function, which have been shown to predict frailty, which in turn is associated with reduced quality of life and increased incidences of hospitalization and disability. Because women are living to older ages than men and tend to have lower muscle strength than same-aged males, at advanced ages, they are at increased risk for impaired physical function, development of frailty and subsequently, disability. Growing evidence supports high-intensity resistance training (HIRT), as a strategy to prevent and manage muscle atrophy in old age. However, the effects of HIRT in pre-frail and frail elderly women are not well understood. This study examined the impact of 12 weeks of HIRT on strength and physical function, and subsequently examined whether strength and physical function increased proportionally to each other in 2 pre-frail and 7 frail women over the age of 70. Measurements of strength (1-repetition maximum [1-RM] of four upper and lower body exercises), power (Biodex System 3 Dynamometer), and physical function (6 minute walk test [6MWT], short physical performance battery [SPPB], and the senior fitness test [SFT), and were obtained both pre- and post-intervention. We found that HIRT increased upper and lower body strength significantly, improved frailty status, improved upper body endurance, and induced clinically meaningful improvements in mobility tasks. Improvements in physical function were not proportional to strength increases. Overall, HIRT is a safe way to increase upper and lower limb strength in pre-frail and frail elderly women, and has the potential to prevent or rectify frailty, and thus could help alleviate the healthcare burden of frailty on the economy.

Osteosarcopenia
Author: Gustavo Duque
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0128204206
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
Falls, fractures, frailty, osteoporosis and sarcopenia are highly prevalent in older persons. While the concept of osteosarcopenia is new, it is a rapidly evolving and cross-disciplinary problem. Prevention and treatment are challenging and a combined therapeutic approach is needed. Osteosarcopenia provides evidence-based information on how to prevent and treat these conditions at multiple settings, including multiple illustrations, care pathways and tips to easily understand the pathophysiology, diagnostic methods and therapeutic approach to these conditions. This work evaluates the potential for a link between osteoporosis, sarcopenia and obesity. - Presents diagnostic and therapeutic tips that facilitate the design and implementation of new care pathways, impacting the wellbeing of our older population - Provides cross-disciplinary understanding by experts from the bone/osteoporosis field and the muscle/sarcopenia field - Covers muscle and bone biology, mesenchymal stem cells, age-related changes and cross-talk between muscle, fat and bone, falls and fracture risk, glucose metabolism, diagnosis, imaging, and genetics of osteosarcopenia
