Background. Lower limb muscle power impairments are modifiable factors underlying
mobility limitations in older adults. This study examined relationships between upper and …

Background. In a clinical study evaluating the functioning of mobility-limited elders, muscle
power accounted for more of the variation in function than strength did. There was also …

The purpose of this study is to examine the relative importance of the force-based and
velocity-based measures of muscle performance to explain inter-individual differences in …

Background. It has been suggested that lower extremity muscle power is more important for
physical function in older adults compared to strength, and that there is a nonlinear …

Objectives: This study examined the influence of lower extremity body composition and
muscle strength on the severity of mobility-disability in community-dwelling older adults …

Background. Lower muscle mass has been correlated with poor physical function; however,
no studies have examined this relationship prospectively. This study aims to investigate …

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of leg power and leg
strength on the physical performance of community‐dwelling mobility‐limited older people …

This study investigated the physiological and gender determinants of the age-related loss of
muscle power in 31 healthy middle-aged adults (aged 40–55 years), 28 healthy older adults …

Background. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between muscle
power output at different external resistances and performance of functional tasks. The …

Background and aims: The purpose of this study was to assess the reliability and concurrent
validity of a new methodology to evaluate lower extremity muscle power in older, functionally …
