conclusions chronic renal disease contributes to sarcopenia, which may develop at an earlier age in rtr. background chronic kidney disease can lead to sarcopenia; however, no study has described sarcopenia in the patients undergoing renal transplantation. objectives the aim of the present study was to assess the prevalence of sarcopenia in renal transplant recipients (rtr) and to evaluate the d...

background and objectives: sarcopenia is explained as the loss of muscle strength and muscle mass with aging‚ and is one of the major risk factors for metabolic diseases. cross-sectional studies demonstrate that vitamin d is associated with sarcopenia in both men and women. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of vitamin d supplement consumption on muscle strength, muscle functio...

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 wome...

objectives: it is well known that neuromuscular function is temperature sensitive. changing of muscle temperature can effect voluntary muscle contraction. the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of cooling and heating on maximal isometric force generated by the elbow flexor musculature in male subjects. methods: forty five healthy males encompassing 3 groups participated in the cur...

proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (pnf) training (contraction - relaxation method), in compared to the other methods of static and dynamic stretching exercises; has higher and safer effects on enhancement of hamstring muscle's flexibility, strength and endurance. achieving the optimal combination of contraction and stretching phases in pnf training that can increase these factors of phy...

background and objectives: sarcopenia is explained as age-related reduction in muscle mass and performance. some of the most important risk factors for sarcopenia include age, malnutrition, and sedentary life style. the aim of this study was to investigate the association of food intake and physical activity with body composition, muscle strength and muscle function in post-menopausal women. ma...

purpose there is a decrease in quadriceps muscle strength in subjects with patellofemoral pain syndrome. various types of strengthening exercises of the quadriceps are done as part of its management, but the effect of isotonic eccentric quadriceps muscle exercises on patellofemoral pain syndrome has not been studied. hence the aim of this exploratory pilot study was to evaluate the effect of ec...

Background and Objectives: Sarcopenia is explained as age-related reduction in muscle mass and performance. Some of the most important risk factors for sarcopenia include age, malnutrition, and sedentary life style. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of food intake and physical activity with body composition, muscle strength and muscle function in post-menopausal women. ...

purpose: military personnel are expected to maintain the highest possible level of physical   fitness to do their duties. several factors including body composition and body mass index   affect the level of their physical preparedness. the current study was designed to investigate   the effect of body composition and body mass index in the level of physical preparedness of   iranian military pe...
