Relative handgrip strength diminishes the negative effects of excess adiposity on dependence in older adults: a moderation analysis
(MDPI, 2020)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
The adverse effects of fat mass on functional dependence might be attenuated or worsened, depending on the level of muscular strength. The aim of this study was to determine (i) the detrimental effect of excess adiposity ...
Functional and cognitive impairment prevention through early physical activity for geriatric hospitalized patients: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
(BioMed Central, 2015)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: Frail older adults have reduced functional and physiological reserves, rendering them more vulnerable
to the effects of hospitalization, which frequently results in failure to recover from the pre-hospitalization ...
Effect of exercise intervention on functional decline in very elderly patients during acute hospitalization: a randomized clinical trial
(American Medical Association, 2018)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Importance: Functional decline is prevalent among acutely hospitalized older patients. Exercise and early rehabilitation protocols applied during acute hospitalization can prevent functional and cognitive decline in older ...
Assessing the impact of physical exercise on cognitive function in older medical patients during acute hospitalization: secondary analysis of a randomized trial
(PLoS, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: Acute illness requiring hospitalization frequently is a sentinel event leading to long-term disability in older people. Prolonged bed rest increases the risk of developing cognitive impairment and dementia in ...
Effect of a multicomponent exercise programme (VIVIFRAIL) on functional capacity in frail community elders with cognitive decline: study protocol for a randomized multicentre control trial
(BioMed Central, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: The benefit of physical exercise in ageing and particularly in frailty has been the aim of recent research. Moreover, physical activity in the elderly is associated with a decreased risk of mortality, of common ...
Inter-individual variability in response to exercise intervention or usual care in hospitalized older adults
(Wiley, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: Exercise protocols applied during hospitalization can prevent functional and cognitive decline in older adults. The purpose of this study was to examine the individual response of acutely hospitalized patients ...
Normative values for the short physical performance battery (SPPB) and their association with anthropometric variables in older Colombian adults. The SABE Study, 2015
(Frontiers Media, 2020)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: The short physical performance battery (SPPB) is a physical performance test of lower extremity function designed for non-disabled older adults. We aimed to establish reference values for community-dwelling ...
Changes in muscle power after usual care or early structured exercise intervention in acutely hospitalized older adults
(Wiley, 2020)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: A classic consequence of short-term bed rest in older adults is the significant loss in skeletal muscle mass and muscle strength that underlies the accelerated physical performance deficits. Structured exercise ...
