The body composition phenotype of an athlete displays the complex interaction among
genotype, physiological and metabolic demands of a sport, diet, and physical training …

Age-related changes in body composition reflect an increased risk for disease as well as
disability. Bioimpedance analysis is a safe and inexpensive bed side method to measure …

Background A sarcopenia diagnosis is confirmed by the presence of low muscle quantity or
quality under the 2018 revised definition by the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in …

Background & aims The bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) represents a
qualitative analysis of body composition. The vector, defined by resistance (R) and …

The biophysical response of the human body to electric current is widely appreciated as a
barometer of fluid distribution and cell function. From distinct raw bioelectrical impedance …

Resistance training has been proposed as a valid practice to counteract the aging effect on
body mass and its components, which can be easily evaluated though the bioelectrical …

Introduction Ageing can be accompanied by increased inflammation, which contributes to
the development of sarcopenia. Exercise training could be effective for preventing …

Chronic conditions including non-communicable diseases have become increasingly
prevalent in the past decade. Proinflammatory cytokines are associated with the …

Introduction Inflammageing–characterized by age-related chronic low-grade inflammation is
considered to be positively influenced by physical exercises. The aim of this systematic …

Physical exercise induces molecular, cellular, and tissue changes of an acute nature with an
impact on chronic adaptations that tend to improve health. Exercise can also be …
