Regular decline in physical working capacity with age.
Analysis of the results of two cross country races, one on foot and one on skis, in which nearly 10,000 men competed showed that performance is very closely matched with age. There is a decrease of 5-10% in the performance every 10 years from optimum age for the event. This optimum varies for different types of physical activity. Studies in a small group of women showed similar variations.
متن کاملIs there a decline in verbal working memory over age?
In this study, the new standard computerized version of the reading span test was used to investigate the development of verbal working memory over age. A significant higher reading span and faster reaction times were expected for the young adults compared to the old adults, based on the processing resource theory (Just & Carpenter, 1992) and the theory of cognitive aging (Salthouse, 1994, 1996...
متن کاملForce-generation capacity of single vastus lateralis muscle fibers and physical function decline with age in African green vervet monkeys.
Previous studies on the contractile properties of human myofibrils reported increase, decrease, or no change with aging, perhaps due to the differences in physical activity, diet, and other factors. This study examined physical performance and contractile characteristics of myofibrils of vastus lateralis (VL) muscle in young adult and old African green vervet monkeys. Animals were offered the s...
متن کاملPreventive effects of regular physical exercise against cognitive decline and the risk of dementia with age advancement
With age advancement, cognitive function is impaired and the risk of dementia is increased under the influence of normal or pathological cortical and subcortical neuronal alterations. Significant researches has been undertaken to analyze the preventive effects of exercise against the decline of cognitive function and the risk of dementia (e.g., Alzheimer's disease), particularly during the past...
متن کاملAlpha phase dynamics predict age-related visual working memory decline
Alpha oscillations (7-14Hz) are modulated in response to visual temporal and spatial cues. However, the neural response to alerting cues is less explored, as is how this response is affected by healthy aging. Using scalp EEG, we examined how visual cortical alpha activity relates to working memory performance. Younger (20-30 years) and older (60-70 years) participants were presented with a visu...
