Effects of Resistance Training on Lower-Extremity Impairments in Older People With Hip Fracture

Effects of progressive resistance training on physical disability among older community-dwelling people with history of hip fracture

“…These results were expected, since muscle strength of the Iower iimbs is re quired in these tasks. The effects of the hitervenfion on mus cle strength and power have previously been reported by Portegijs et al (9). PRT improved both lower iimb muscie force and power, particulariy on the weaker side.…”

“…Consequentl y these results should be considered clinically relevant and significant. The study of Portegijs et al reported previously high feasibility and compliance in this RCT, and no serious adverse events occurred (9). Last ly, the training protocol of this study can be considered cost-effective , since training was group-based and thus profitable, compared with individual rehabilitation thera py by a physiotherap ist.…”

“…The study design and training protocol are reported more in de tail by Portegijs et al (9) and are briefly summarized here.…”

Balance Confidence Was Associated With Mobility and Balance Performance in Older People With Fall-Related Hip Fracture: A Cross-Sectional Study

“…Present level of physical activity was assessed with a self-report scale by Grimby 36 with 15 slight modifications. The highest category of the initial scale was divided into two 16 categories, separating those participating in regular exercise fitness activities from those 17 active in competitive sports.…”

The Effects of Combined Exercises Intensity (Aerobics-Resistance) on Plasma Cortisol and Testosterone Levels in Active Males

“…16 Resistance training increases muscle mass and muscle strength. 17 Practicing with several energy devices and multi tasking types of exercise (resistance training and aerobics) are called parallel or combination exercises. A combination of separate aerobic and resistance training exercises improve body composition and cardiovascular health factors 18 and develop physical fitness and metabolic health.…”
