Effects of multicomponent exercise training on the intrinsic capacity in frail older adults: review of clinical trials
(Universidade Estadual Paulista, 2022) Mello, Alexandre; Izquierdo Redín, Mikel; Teodoro, Juliana Lopes; Lusa Cadore, Eduardo; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun Zientziak
Aim: To review the effects of multicomponent exercise training on the domains of the intrinsic capacity of physically frail older adults: locomotion, vitality, cognition, psychological outcomes, and sensory function. Methods: The search for the studies was carried out in the MEDLINE, Cochrane CENTRAL, and PEDro databases, along with manual search, delimiting the period of publication as the last 10 years. The initial search identified 338 studies and 18 among them were analyzed qualitatively. Results: From the analysis of the included studies, great variability was evidenced between the intervention protocols, as well as between the results. As for the effectiveness of multicomponent exercise training, it has been shown to induce a positive effect on most of the analyzed outcomes. Conclusion: In summary, the present review suggests that multicomponent physical training can be effective to improve aspects of locomotion, cognition, and psychological aspects in frail older populations. Nevertheless, more studies are needed to specify the time needed to achieve such adaptations, the magnitude of these adaptations, and the design of the most appropriate training program for each outcome related to intrinsic capabilities.

(Aging and Disease, 2016) Ferrari, Rodrigo; Fuchs, Sandra C.; Kruel, Luiz Fernando Martins; Lusa Cadore, Eduardo; Alberton, Cristine Lima; Pinto, Ronei Silveira; Radaelli, Régis; Schoenell, Maira; Izquierdo Redín, Mikel; Tanaka, Hirofumi; Umpierre, Daniel; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun Zientziak
Muscle power is a strong predictor of functional status in the elderly population and is required to perform different daily activities. To compare the effects of different weekly training frequencies on muscle power and muscle quality induced by concurrent training (resistance + aerobic) in previously trained elderly men. Twenty-four trained elderly men (65 ± 4 years), previously engaged in a regular concurrent training program, three times per week, for the previous five months, were randomly allocated to concurrent training programs in which training was performed either twice a week (2·week-1, n = 12) or three times per week (3·week-1, n = 12). The groups trained with an identical exercise intensity and volume per session for 10 weeks. Before and after the exercise training, we examined muscle power, as estimated by countermovement jump height; knee extensor isokinetic peak torque at 60 and 180o.s-1; and muscle quality, a quotient between the one-repetition maximum of the knee extensors and the sum of quadriceps femoris muscle thickness determined by ultrasonography. Additionally, as secondary outcomes, blood pressure and reactive hyperemia were evaluated. Two-way ANOVA with repeated measures were used and statistical significance was set at α = 0.05. Muscular power (2·week-1: 7%, and 3·week-1: 10%) and muscle quality (2·week-1: 15%, and 3·week-1: 8%) improved with the concurrent exercise training (p < 0.001) but with no differences between groups. The isokinetic peak torque at 60 (2·week-1: 4%, and 3·week-1: 2%) and 180o.s-1 (2·week-1: 7%, and 3·week-1: 1%) increased in both groups (p = 0.036 and p=0.014, respectively). There were no changes in blood pressure or reactive hyperemia with the concurrent training. Concurrent training performed twice a week promotes similar adaptations in muscular power and muscle quality when compared with the same program performed three times per week in previously trained elderly men.

(Elsevier, 2024-09-27) López Sáez de Asteasu, Mikel; Martínez Velilla, Nicolás; Ramírez Vélez, Robinson; Zambom Ferraresi, Fabrício; Galbete Jiménez, Arkaitz; Lusa Cadore, Eduardo; Izquierdo Redín, Mikel; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun Zientziak; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako Gobernua, 2186/2014
Background. Sex-based differences in the clinical presentation and outcomes are well-established in patients hospitalized for geriatric syndromes. We aimed to investigate sex differences in response to in-hospital exercise on function, strength, cognition, and quality of life in acute care admissions. Methods. 570 patients (mean age 87 years, 298 females [52.3%]) admitted to acute care for elderly units were randomized to multicomponent exercise emphasizing progressive resistance training or usual care. Functional assessments included Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), grip strength, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and health-related quality of life (EQ-VAS). Results. Exercising females showed more significant SPPB improvements than males (between-group difference 1.48 points, p = 0.027), exceeding the minimal clinically significant difference. While female participants significantly increased handgrip strength and male patients improved cognition after in-hospital exercise compared to the control group (all p < 0.001), no sex differences occurred. Conclusions. Females demonstrate more excellent physical function improvements compared to male older patients. Findings highlight the importance of tailored exercise incorporating patient factors like biological sex in geriatric medicine. Trial registration. NCT04600453

Chronic effects of different intensities of power training on neuromuscular parameters in older people: a systematic review with meta-analysis
(Springer, 2023) Guimarães, Marcelo Bandeira; Blanco‑Rambo, Eduarda; Vieira, Alexandra Ferreira; López Sáez de Asteasu, Mikel; Pinto, Ronei Silveira; Izquierdo Redín, Mikel; Lusa Cadore, Eduardo; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun Zientziak
Background Power training (PT) has been shown to be an efective method for improving muscle function, includ‑ ing maximal strength, measured by one-repetition maximum (1RM), and power output in older adults. However, it is not clear how PT intensity, expressed as a percentage of 1RM, afects the magnitude of these changes. The aim of this systematic review (International prospective register of systematic reviews—PROSPERO—registration: CRD42022369874) was to summarize the evidence from randomized clinical trials (RCT) assessing the efects of lowintensity (≤49% of 1RM) and moderate-intensity (50–69% of 1RM) versus high-intensity (≥70% of 1RM) PT on maximal power output and maximal strength in older adults. Methods We included RCTs that examined the efects of diferent intensities of power training on maximum strength and power output in older people. The search was performed using PubMed, LILACS, Embase, and Scopus. Methodological quality was assessed using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA 2020 statement checklist), and the quality of evidence was determined using the PEDro scale. Data were analyzed using standardized mean diferences (SMD) with a 95% confdence interval (CI), and random efects models were used for calculations. A signifcance level of p≤0.05 was accepted. Results Three RCTs assessing 179 participants, all of high methodological quality, were included. There were no sig‑ nifcant diferences between diferent PT intensities in terms of power output gains for leg press [SMD=0.130 (95% CI −0.19, 0.45), p=0.425] and knee extension exercises [SMD: 0.016 (95% CI −0.362, 0.395), p=0.932], as well as leg press 1RM increases [SMD: 0.296 (95% CI −0.03, 0.62); p=0.072]. However, high-intensity PT (70–80% of 1RM) was sig‑ nifcantly more efective than low-intensity PT in increasing 1RM for knee extension exercise [SMD: 0.523 (95% CI 0.14, 1.91), p=0.008]. Conclusions PT performed at low-to-moderate intensities induces similar power gains compared to high-inten‑ sity PT (70–80% of 1RM) in older adults. Nonetheless, the infuence of PT intensity on lower-limb strength gains seems to be dependent on the assessed exercise. Cautious interpretation is warranted considering the inclusion of only three studies.

Inter-individual variability in response to exercise intervention or usual care in hospitalized older adults
(Wiley, 2019) López Sáez de Asteasu, Mikel; Martínez Velilla, Nicolás; Zambom Ferraresi, Fabrício; Casas Herrero, Álvaro; Lusa Cadore, Eduardo; Ramírez Vélez, Robinson; Izquierdo Redín, Mikel; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun Zientziak; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako Gobernua, 2186/2014
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 to usual care and to physical exercise on functional capacity, muscle strength, and cognitive function and to assess the relationship with mortality at 1 year post-discharge. Methods: In a single-blind randomized clinical trial, 370 hospitalized patients [56.5% women; mean age (standard deviation) 87.3 (4.9) years] were allocated to an exercise intervention group (IG, n = 185) or a control group (CG, n = 185). The participants were older adults aged 75 years or older in an acute care unit in a tertiary public hospital in Navarra, Spain. The usual care group received habitual hospital care, which included physical rehabilitation when needed. The in-hospital intervention included individualized multicomponent exercise training programme performed during 5–7 consecutive days (two sessions/day). Functional capacity was assessed with the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) test and the Gait Velocity Test (GVT). Handgrip strength and cognitive function were also measured at admission and discharge. Patients in both groups were categorized as responders (Rs), non-responders (NRs), and adverse responders (ARs) based on the individual response to each treatment during hospitalization. Results: The prevalence of Rs was higher and the prevalence of NRs and ARs was lower in the intervention group than in the control group for functional capacity (SPPB IG: Rs 85.3%, NRs 8.7%, ARs 6.0% vs. CG: Rs 37.9%, NRs 28.8%, ARs 33.3% and GVT IG: Rs 51.2%, NRs 47.3, ARs 1.6% vs. CG: Rs 18.0%, NRs 67.7%, ARs 14.3%), muscle strength (IG: Rs 62.3%, NRs 26.5%, ARs 11.3% vs. CG: Rs 20.0%, NRs 38.0%, ARs 42.0%), and cognition (IG: Rs 41.5%, NRs 57.1%, ARs 1.4% vs. CG: Rs 13.8%, NRs 76.6%, ARs 9.7%) (all P < 0.001). The ARs for the GVT in the control group and the ARs for the SPPB in the intervention group had a significantly higher rate of mortality than the NRs and Rs in the equivalent groups (0.01 and 0.03, respectively) at follow-up. Conclusions: Older patients performing an individualized exercise intervention presented higher prevalence of Rs and a lower prevalence of NRs and ARs for functional capacity, muscle strength, and cognitive function than those who were treated with usual care during acute hospitalization. An adverse response on functional capacity in older patients to physical exercise or usual care during hospitalization was associated with mortality at 1 year post-discharge.

Construct validity and test-retest reliability of the International Fitness Scale (IFIS) in Colombian children and adolescents aged 9-17.9 years: the FUPRECOL study
(PeerJ, 2017) Ramírez Vélez, Robinson; Cruz Salazar, Sandra Milena; Martínez, Myriam; Lusa Cadore, Eduardo; Alonso Martínez, Alicia; Correa Bautista, Jorge Enrique; Izquierdo Redín, Mikel; Ortega, Francisco B.; García Hermoso, Antonio; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun Zientziak
Background: there is a lack of instruments and studies written in Spanish evaluating physical fitness, impeding the determination of the current status of this important health indicator in the Latin population, especially in Colombia. The aim of the study was two-fold: to examine the validity of the International Fitness Scale (IFIS) with a population-based sample of schoolchildren from Bogota, Colombia and to examine the reliability of the IFIS with children and adolescents from Engativa, Colombia. Methods: the sample comprised 1,873 Colombian youths (54.5% girls) aged 9–17.9 years. We measured their adiposity markers (waist-to-height ratio, skinfold thickness, percentage of body fat and body mass index), blood pressure, lipids profile, fasting glucose, and physical fitness level (self-reported and measured). A validated cardiometabolic risk index score was also used. An age- and sex-matched subsample of 229 schoolchildren who were not originally included in the sample completed the IFIS twice for reliability purposes. Results: our data suggest that both measured and self-reported overall physical fitness levels were inversely associated with percentage of body fat indicators and the cardiometabolic risk index score. Overall, schoolchildren who self-reported “good” or “very good” fitness had better measured fitness levels than those who reported “very poor/poor” fitness (all p < 0.001). The test-retest reliability of the IFIS items was also good, with an average weighted kappa of 0.811. Discussion: our findings suggest that self-reported fitness, as assessed by the IFIS, is a valid, reliable, and health-related measure. Furthermore, it can be a good alternative for future use in large studies with Latin schoolchildren from Colombia.

Multicomponent exercise with power training: a vital intervention for frail older adults
(Elsevier, 2024) Izquierdo Redín, Mikel; Lusa Cadore, Eduardo; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun Zientziak
Maintaining functional abilities is critical for healthy aging. Physical inactivity in older adults is linked to chronic diseases, functional declines, and increased risks of multimorbidity, falls, hospitalization, institutionalization, and mortality. Exercise interventions are essential to improve function and health in this population. Recent advancements highlight the importance of tailored exercise prescriptions, cost impacts, minimal effective power training doses, and multicomponent interventions such as the VIVIFRAIL program. This review emphasizes the significance of multicomponent exercise with power training in improving physical function in frail older adults. Resistance and power training alone may not enhance gait and balance, but a 12-week multicomponent program combining these elements significantly improves various physical and cognitive outcomes. Economic analyses demonstrate that such interventions reduce healthcare costs by decreasing hospitalizations. The VIVIFRAIL program successfully implements these approaches in community and healthcare settings, underscoring the positive impact on the well-being of older adults. Ongoing research and implementation of multicomponent exercise programs are vital for promoting health and independence in the aging population.

Effects of short-term multicomponent exercise intervention on muscle power in hospitalized older patients: a secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial
(Wiley, 2023) Lusa Cadore, Eduardo; Izquierdo Redín, Mikel; Teodoro, Juliana Lopes; Martínez Velilla, Nicolás; Zambom Ferraresi, Fabrício; Moriguchi, Emilio Hideyuki; López Sáez de Asteasu, Mikel; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun Zientziak
Background: bed rest during hospitalization can negatively impact functional independence and clinical status of older individuals. Strategies focused on maintaining and improving muscle function may help reverse these losses. This study investigated the effects of a short-term multicomponent exercise intervention on maximal strength and muscle power in hospitalized older patients. Methods: this secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial was conducted in an acute care unit in a tertiary public hospital. Ninety (39 women) older patients (mean age 87.7 ± 4.8 years) undergoing acute-care hospitalization [median (IQR) duration 8 (1.75) and 8 (3) days for intervention and control groups, respectively]) were randomly assigned to an exercise intervention group (n = 44) or a control group (n = 46). The control group received standard care hospital including physical rehabilitation as needed. The multicomponent exercise intervention was performed for 3 consecutive days during the hospitalization, consisting of individualized power training, balance, and walking exercises. Outcomes assessed at baseline and discharge were maximal strength through 1 repetition maximum test (1RM) in the leg press and bench press exercises, and muscle power output at different loads (≤ 30% of 1RM and between 45% and 55% of 1RM) in the leg press exercise. Mean peak power during 10 repetitions was assessed at loads between 45% and 55% of 1RM. Results: at discharge, intervention group increased 19.2 kg (Mean ∆% = 40.4%) in leg press 1RM [95% confidence interval (CI): 12.1, 26.2 kg; P < 0.001] and 2.9 kg (Mean ∆% = 19.7%) in bench press 1RM (95% CI: 0.6, 5.2 kg; P < 0.001). The intervention group also increased peak power by 18.8 W (Mean ∆% = 69.2%) (95% CI: 8.4, 29.1 W; P < 0.001) and mean propulsive power by 9.3 (Mean ∆% = 26.8%) W (95% CI: 2.5, 16.1 W; P = 0.002) at loads ≤30% of 1RM. The intervention group also increased peak power by 39.1 W (Mean ∆% = 60.0%) (95% CI: 19.2, 59.0 W; P < 0.001) and mean propulsive power by 22.9 W (Mean ∆% = 64.1%) (95% CI: 11.7, 34.1 W; P < 0.001) at loads between 45% and 55% of 1RM. Mean peak power during the 10 repetitions improved by 20.8 W (Mean ∆% = 36.4%) (95% CI: 3.0, 38.6 W; P = 0.011). No significant changes were observed in the control group for any endpoint. Conclusions An individualized multicomponent exercise program including progressive power training performed over 3 days markedly improved muscle strength and power in acutely hospitalized older patients.

Neuromuscular compartmentalization of the vastus medialis muscle: comparison of the activity of the vastus medialis obliquus and the vastus medialis longus by high density electromyography
(Sociedades Chilena, Argentina y Panamericana de Anatomía, 2021) Guzmán Venegas, Rodrigo Antonio; Lusa Cadore, Eduardo; Valencia, Óscar; Izquierdo Redín, Mikel; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun Zientziak
Los estudios anatómicos describen que el músculo vasto medial (VM) se subdivide en dos componentes morfológicamente distintos, el vasto medial obliquus (VMO) y el vasto medial largo (VML). Sin embargo, existen discrepancias con respecto a la diferenciación funcional de estos componentes. El objetivo de este estudio fue comparar los niveles de activación del VMO y el VML mediante electromiografía de superficie de alta densidad. Doce mujeres jóvenes sanas (edad: 21,4 ± 2,0 años; peso: 58,1 ± 7,5 kg; altura: 1,6 ± 0,1 m), realizaron un ejercicio de rodilla de cadena cinética abierta durante el cual se registró la actividad EMG de la VMO y la VML con dos matrices dimensionales de 32 electrodos de superficie. Los ejercicios se realizaron con tres niveles de resistencia (5, 10 y 15% del peso corporal (PC)), considerando tres fases: concéntrica, isométrica y excéntrica. En la fase isométrica el VMO tuvo mayor activación que el VML con los tres niveles de resistencia (p

Strength training with repetitions to failure does not provide additional strength and muscle hypertrophy gains in young women
(PAGEPress, 2017) Martorelli, Saulo; Lusa Cadore, Eduardo; Izquierdo Redín, Mikel; Celes, Rodrigo; Martorelli, André; Cleto, Vitor Alonso; Alvarenga, José Gustavo; Bottaro, Martim; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun Zientziak
This study investigated the effects of a 10-week resistance training to failure on neuromuscular adaptations in young women. Eighty-nine active young women were randomly assigned to one of three groups: 1) repetitions to failure (RF; three sets of repetitions to failure); 2) repetitions not to failure with equalized volume (RNFV; four sets of 7 repetitions); and 3) repetitions not to failure (RNF; three sets of 7 repetitions). All groups performed the elbow flexor exercise (bilateral biceps curl) and trained 2 days per week using 70% of 1RM. There were significant increases (p<0.05) in muscle strength after 5 (15.9% for RF, 18.4% for RNF, and 19.9% for RNFV) and 10 (28.3% for RF, 26.8% for RNF, and 28.3% for RNFV) weeks of training, with no significant differences between groups. Additionally, muscular endurance increased after 5 and 10 weeks, with no differences between groups. However, peak torque (PT) increased significantly at 180°.s-1 in the RNFV (13.7%) and RNF (4.1%) groups (p<0.05), whereas no changes were observed in the RF group (-0.5%). Muscle thickness increased significantly (p<0.05) in the RF and RNFV groups after 5 (RF: 8.4% and RNFV: 2.3%) and 10 weeks of training (RF: 17.5%, and RNFV: 8.5%), whereas no significant changes were observed in the RNF group (3.9 and 2.1% after 5 and 10 weeks, respectively). These data suggest that short-term training of repetitions to failure do not yield additional overall neuromuscular improvements in young women.
