“…Furthermore, as already mentioned, in adolescents good cardiorespiratory fitness is positively related to body composition and metabolic syndrome in children and adolescents aged 5–19 years old [ 56 ]. Furthermore, low aerobic fitness carries negative consequences for the physical function in all age groups, such as increased metabolic and cardiac disease [ 57 , 58 ] and, in this sense, reveals the importance of keeping physically active in adolescence [ 59 , 60 , 61 ]. Additionally, keeping satisfactory aerobic fitness levels across the years is inversely related with all causes of mortality, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic lower respiratory tract diseases, accidents and injuries, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes mellitus, influenza/pneumonia, nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, or nephrosis [ 62 ].…”

The aim of this study was to verify the relationship between abdominal adiposity and physical fitness in the obesity status of Portuguese adolescents. BMI, abdominal adiposity, and physical fitness tests from the FITescola® were evaluated in a total of 654 Portuguese adolescents, aged 10-19 years old—male: n = 334 (51%), female: n = 320 (49%). For the final model, BMI was positively related with age (β = 0.25), abdominal adiposity (β = 0.313), horizontal jump (β = −0.100), 40 m maximal velocity (β = 0.274), and aerobic fitness (β = −0.250, R2 = 0.75, F = 382.2, and p = 0.0001). We conclude that higher age and abdominal adiposity are positively related with a higher adolescent BMI. Furthermore, lower horizontal jump distances and worse times on the 40 m maximal velocity were inversely related with a higher adolescent BMI, and lower aerobic fitness was inversely related with a higher adolescent BMI.

“…Studies have shown that muscle mass, muscle strength, and body fat was associated with the ability to perform ADL and IADL in older adults [4,5,6] . Moreover, reports have suggested that AE and RE improve physical performance, which has been associated with the ability to perform of ADL and IADL in older adults [4,8,9,10] .…”

“…Resistance exercise (RE) and aerobic exercise (AE) have been shown to increase muscle mass and decrease body fat in older adults [7] , as well as improve physical performance, which has been associated with ADL and IADL capacity [4,8,9,10] . However, some older adults cannot tolerate formal or prolonged exercise, particularly older adults requiring care (in longterm care) due to conditions such as decreased exercise tolerance or pain.…”

Physical Activity and Sarcopenic Obesity in Older Adults

Background: Sarcopenic obesity causes a decline in the ability to perform activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living in older adults. Physical activity is defined as the movement of any body part derived from the work of skeletal muscle, which leads to energy consumption. Physical activity comprises not only exercise but also all activities of daily life and promotes benefits of health outcomes, with the shift from a sedentary lifestyle to that including physical activity of any intensity (including light intensity) even leading to health benefits. Objective: The current study aims to review the associations of aerobic exercise, resistance exercise, and physical activity with body composition, physical performance, and activities of daily living in older adults with sarcopenic obesity, including older adults requiring assistance with the performance of activities of daily living. Results: Resistance and aerobic exercises could have positive effects on muscle mass, body fat, and physical performance in older adults with sarcopenic obesity. Besides, physical activity may reduce the risk of sarcopenic obesity in older adults. Conclusion: There has been a paucity of studies particularly on whether physical activity could still prevent the risk of sarcopenic obesity and improve muscle mass, body fat, physical performance, and the capacity for activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living in older adults with sarcopenic obesity, including older adults with sarcopenic obesity requiring care. Future studies need to additionally clarify whether physical activity affects the risk of sarcopenic obesity and promotes benefits in body composition, physical performance, and the capacity for activities of daily living in older adults and older adults with sarcopenic obesity requiring care.

“…We prescribed moderate-intensity aerobic exercise, meaning participants could talk but could not sing during the training period [16]. A recent systematic review of exercise intervention improving physical performance in the elderly reported that intervention times ranged from 4 to 52 weeks [17]. We chose the eight-week exercise program due to the practicality of conducting the multi-site project.…”

To investigate the impact on physical performance and walking abilities associated with fall risk and disability in the senior population, we created a telerehabilitation system. This is a multi-site, community setting, pre–post experimental study. We recruited participants from four rural areas in Thailand. All participants received eight weeks of tele-exercise, three sessions per week, via the telerehabilitation system. After the intervention, all participants underwent the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, and the six-minute walk test (6MWT) using a wearable sensor system. A total of 123 participants participated in the study and 2 participants dropped out while conducting the study, thus 121 participants were included in the analysis. In comparison to the baseline, we discovered a considerable improvement in the SPPB score (0.65 ± 0.22, p < 0.001), TUG (−1.70 ± 0.86, p < 0.001), and 6MWT (10.23 ± 7.33, p = 0.007). Our study demonstrates the benefits of telerehabilitation on SPPB, TUG, and 6MWT related to disabilities and fall risk. This telerehabilitation technology demonstrated its viability in the community environment and demonstrated its capacity to offer fundamental components of remote rehabilitation services within the healthcare system.
