appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASMM), relative skeletal muscle mass (RSM) index …

Background Muscle power has been proposed to be the primary therapeutic target for
resistance training interventions aimed at enhancing physical function in older adults …

Purpose This pilot study investigated differences in lean tissue mass, muscle strength,
muscle quality (strength per unit of muscle mass; MQ), and functional performance in healthy …
