Muscle Thickness Changes Do Not Mediate Changes In Muscle Strength

Changes in the muscle strength and functional performance of healthy women with aging

 Background: Lower limbs antigravity muscles weakness and decreased functional ability have significant role in falling. The aim of this study was to find the effects of aging on muscle strength and functional ability, determining the range of decreasing strength and functional ability and relationship between them in healthy women. Methods: Across-section study was performed on 101 healthy wom...

Changes in the Muscle Strength of the Elbow Flexors

Changes in muscle mass and strength after menopause.

Menopause is associated with a natural decline in estrogen, that increases visceral fat mass, decreases bone mass density, muscle mass, and strength. This review will examine the role of menopause transition and associated decrease in hormonal status with regards to those changes. We will also overview the efficiency of physical exercise and nutrition on muscle subcharacteristics. Studying chan...

Age-related Changes in Muscle Strength of Healthy Japanese

Gravity-compensated extremity joint torque values were measured in approximately 1,000 healthy Japanese to test the hypothesis that young people in Japan have less muscle strength than older people. The extremity joint torque values of the women in their 20s were significantly lower than those of the women in their 40s, 50s, and/or 60s for six extremity joint torque parameters: wrist palmer fle...

Muscle Changes in Aging

UNLABELLED Muscle physiology in the aging athlete is complex. Sarcopenia, the age-related decrease in lean muscle mass, can alter activity level and affect quality of life. This review addresses the microscopic and macroscopic changes in muscle with age, recognizes contributing factors including nutrition and changes in hormone levels, and identifies potential pharmacologic agents in clinical t...
