Ageing leads to substantial force production capacity reductions, which is an indicator of
frailty and disability, and a mortality predictor in elders. Understanding the age-dependent …

Background Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by chronic pain, physical dysfunction,
and reduced quality of life. Low-load resistance exercises with blood flow restriction (BFR) …

Purpose Handgrip strength is considered as important indicator for general fitness in older
adults. However, it does not notably reflect adaptations from whole-body training but may …

The aim of the research was to implement an athletic program to improve the explosive force
in order to optimize physical fitness at the level of elite football-tennis players and evaluate …

Background The measurement of handgrip force responses is important in many aspects, for
example: to complement neurological assessments, to investigate the contribution of muscle …

Abstract BECAUSE OF RECENT DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGES WITH A GREATER
PROPORTION OF ELDERLY PEOPLE IN THE WORLD, PHYSICAL INDEPENDENCE …

This study compared the differences in neural and muscular mechanisms related to
explosive torque in chronically strength‐trained young and older men (> 5 years). Fifty‐four …

The analysis of explosive force, through rate of force development (RFD) and contractile
impulse (CI), from handgrip strength data seems to be useful and promising information to …

Handgrip strength can be easily measured; however, lack of a quantitative relationship with
other force types restricts its usefulness. The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship …

In the assessment of skeletal muscle strength, rate of force development (RFD) is clinically
identified as a functional index that reflects the effects of aging, but there are few reports on …
