Obesity is a global epidemic and coupled with the unprecedented growth of the world's older
adult population, a growing number of individuals are both old and obese. Whilst both …

This study investigated the associations of sarcopenic obesity (SO) with muscle strength and
physical performance in sufficiently active older adults. Data from 72 older sarcopenic obese …

Background We investigated intramuscular fat (IMF) in quadriceps femoris (QF) and
hamstring muscles in the middle-aged women with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). We also …

The assessment of muscle activity (MA) via surface electromyography (sEMG) within a
workplace setting offers valuable insights into workers' physical strain, but it encounters …

The need for developing a simple and effective assessment tool for muscle mass has been
increasing in a rapidly aging society. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of the …

The first aim was to investigate the impact of different electromyography (EMG) parameters
as a reference to normalize the EMG amplitude of the superficial quadriceps femoris …

Interrelationship among thigh intermuscular adipose tissue,... : Medicine Interrelationship
among thigh intermuscular adipose tissue, cross-sectional area, muscle strength, and functional …

When low muscle mass and impaired strength and physical function coexist with excess
adiposity, it is termed sarcopenic obesity (SO). Handgrip strength (HGS) is a predictor of …

Background and Objectives: The foot comprises of active contractile and passive connective
tissue components, which help maintain stability and facilitate movement during gait. The …

This thesis investigated the effect of knee angle position on the electrical signal of two
hamstring muscles using a traditional technique (bipolar electromyography) and a modern …
