Sarcopenia is characterized by muscle wasting and is primarily a disease of the elderly. A
stroke-specific sarcopenia has been described recently. Stroke-related sarcopenia has a …

Background: The aging of posture and balance function alters the quality of life in older
people and causes serious problems in terms of public health and socio-economic costs for …

Molecular mechanisms underlying sarcopenia, the age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass
and function, remain unclear. To identify molecular changes that correlated best with …

Aging and obesity pose significant threats to public health and are major contributors to
muscle atrophy. The trends in muscle fiber types under these conditions and the …

To distinguish the respective potential of endurance and resistance training to increase the
satellite cell pool, we investigated the effects of 14 weeks of concurrent lower body …

We examined the muscle fatigue characteristics in older men and women and determined
whether these were related to the size, strength, or quality of muscle. A total of 1,512 men …

This study was designed to investigate the effect of ageing on the mechanical and
electromyographic (EMG) characteristics of the soleus motor units (MUs) activated by the …

The discharge of single motor units (n= 34) in the first dorsal interosseus muscle and the
fluctuations in force during steady contractions were measured across a range of index …

Elderly individuals often fall because of poor muscle strength and reduced balancing ability
related to muscle aging. However, it is unclear whether changes in muscle fiber types …

The decline in the neuromuscular function affects the physical performance and is a threat
for independent living in later life. The age‐related decrease in muscle satellite cells …
