Background Resistance training is the gold standard exercise mode for accrual of lean
muscle mass, but the isolated effect of resistance training on body fat is unknown. Objectives …

A growing body of scientific literature suggests that not only changes in skeletal muscle
mass, but also other factors underpinning muscle quality, play a role in the decline in …

Background Trouble sleeping is one of the major health issues nowadays. Current evidence
on the correlation between muscle quality and trouble sleeping is limited. Methods A cross …

Introduction Skeletal muscle power has been demonstrated to be a stronger predictor of
functional limitations than any other physical capability. However, no validated alternatives …

Objectives To investigate the influence of resistance training (RT), aerobic training (AT), or
combination training (CT) interventions on the body composition, muscle strength …

Background The loss of skeletal muscle mass (MM) or muscle function (MF) alone increases
the risk for losing physical independence in older adults. We aimed to examine the …

Aging is often accompanied by declines in physical functioning which impedes older adults'
quality of life, sense of independence, and ability to perform daily tasks. Age-related …

Objective To examine the effects of 12 weeks of high-speed resistance training (RT) versus
low-speed RT on muscle strength [one repetition of maximum leg-press (1RM LP) and …

Aging is associated with a progressive decline in skeletal muscle mass and strength. The
decline, known as sarcopenia, could lead to physical disability, poor quality of life, and …

Key points Resistance exercise training (RET) is one of the most effective strategies for
preventing declines in skeletal muscle mass and strength with age. Hypertrophic responses …
