Background Habitual walking speed predicts many clinical conditions later in life, but it
declines with age. However, which particular exercise intervention can minimize the age …

Maintaining and increasing walking speed in old age is clinically important because this
activity of daily living predicts functional and clinical state. We reviewed evidence for the …

Background. The net metabolic cost of walking (Cw) as well as the level of neural activation
of agonist and antagonist leg muscles are higher in healthy old compared with young adults …

Ridgel AL, Peacock CA, Fickes EJ, Kim CH. Active-assisted cycling improves tremor and
bradykinesia in Parkinson's disease. OBJECTIVES: To develop a rapid cadence cycling …

Abstract The Metabolic Cost of Walking (MCoW) is an important variable of daily life that has
been studied extensively. Several studies suggest that MCoW is higher in Older Adults (OA) …

Older adults walk slower and with a higher metabolic energy expenditure than younger
adults. In this review, we explore the hypothesis that age-related declines in Achilles tendon …

Despite 50 years of pharmacological and psychosocial interventions, schizophrenia remains
one of the leading causes of disability. Schizophrenia is also a life-shortening illness …

To investigate reasons for the age-related reduction in physical function, we determined the
relationships between muscle size, strength, and power with 6-min walk distance (6MWD) …

Background: Older persons are the fastest growing segment of the population living in the
Western hemisphere. Longevity comes at a price, including a higher rate of morbidity …

Background Low levels of physical activity are currently observed in all age groups around
the world. Among older adults physical activity is even lower, potentially influencing quality …
