“…Moreover, a program of habitual exercise (>30 min with light sweating) in a 2-year study significantly improved the GLFS-25 scores in middle-aged and elderly men. 35 ) We believe that the differences in the results of the current study and those of previous reports are attributable to the GLFS-25 score at baseline, the period of exercise, and the intensity of exercise. The GLFS-25 scores of the patients in the present study were higher than those of the patients in previous reports.…”

Objectives: This study investigated the effects of locomotion training on physical functions and quality of life in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods: Thirty-five patients with RA underwent locomotion training for 6 months. Health data collected from the subjects at baseline and after 6 months were the Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI), pain Visual Analog Scale, 10-m walking test, Timed Up-and-Go (TUG) test, single-leg standing test, Short Form-8 score with physical and mental component summaries, and 25-question Geriatric Locomotive Function Scale. The primary endpoint was a change in HAQ-DI at 6 months. Results: In terms of the primary outcome, the HAQ-DI significantly improved from 0.48 ± 0.69 at baseline to 0.27 ± 0.36 at 6 months (P=0.011). The significant secondary outcomes were a change in TUG test for comfortable walking from 9.8 ± 2.1 s at baseline to 8.9 ± 2.0 s at 6 months (P=0.002) and increased single-leg standing times for the right and left legs from 24.7 ± 23.5 s and 22.6 ± 22.8 s at baseline to 30.9 ± 22.1 s and 32.4 ± 24.1 s at 6 months (P=0.004, P <0.001), respectively. Conclusions: The findings suggest that locomotion training for 6 months may improve the HAQ-DI in patients with RA.

“…These findings provide insights for preventing LS in this age group because even after middle age, it is important to emphasize exercise habits to improve the GLFS-25 score. 25 Evaluating sedentary leisure time and work-related PA is crucial for preventing LS in young and middle-aged workers. Our findings bridge the knowledge gap in the association between sedentary behavior and LS.…”

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the relationship between physical activity (PA) and locomotive syndrome (LS) among young and middle-aged Japanese workers. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 335 participants from a company in Kumamoto, Japan. LS was evaluated using the 25-question Geriatric Locomotive Function Scale (GLFS-25); a GLFS-25 score ≥7 was defined as LS. Weekly PA was measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Work-related PA (time spent sitting, standing, walking, and strenuous work per day) and sedentary breaks were measured using a Work-related Physical Activity Questionnaire. Screen usage (television [TV], smartphones, tablets, and personal computers) during leisure time was recorded. The association between PA and LS was examined using a multivariate logistic regression analysis adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, history of musculoskeletal disorders, cancer, stroke, occupation, employment type, work time, shift system, employment status, and body pain. Results: A total of 149 participants had LS. Fewer sedentary breaks during work (>70-minute intervals [odds ratio {OR}: 2.96]; prolonged sitting [OR: 4.12]) and longer TV viewing time (≥ 180 minutes [OR: 3.02]) were significantly associated with LS. In contrast, moderate PA (OR: 0.75) was significantly associated with a lower risk of LS. Conclusions: Fewer sedentary breaks during work and longer TV viewing time could increase the risk of LS in young and middle-aged Japanese workers.

“…Major country such as Japan, China, Australia and the other countries that have based elderly population increased rapidly over recent years, that will cause nursing care cost have also increased. 4 Considering all of that, sarcopenia will increase the cost of health and it will increase the need for long term as well. In addition, low muscle mass will increase risk of disability in older adults and elderly population.…”

Background: Sarcopenia’s definition are low muscle strength, low muscle quantity or quality, and low muscle performance. Several studies have found that skeletal mass can decrease as a result of a lack of physical activity and it along have to increase risk of adverse outcomes including falls, frailty, disability, morbidity and mortality. Exercise interventions is the most effective strategy for increasing the skeletal muscle mass and maintain functional independence of elderly people. In this review will discuss about how physical activity be a habitual exercise that less cost and easy to do, will be home based exercise for elderly people with sarcopenia to decrease of exacerbate. Methods: The literature had selected studies from the following databases: PubMed, Google Scholar and PEDro. We explored evidence which relevant topic using the following database with keyword ‘sarcopenia and pre-sarcopenia’, ‘exercise for sarcopenia and pre-sarcopenia’, 'home-based exercise’, ‘physical activity for elderly’, ‘elderly with sarcopenia’ and selection by inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: Four studies were corresponded with home exercise-based habitual physical activity for people with pre sarcopenia and prevent sarcopenia which have been analyzed as results of the study. The habitual physical activity that can be home based exercise for prevent decreasing of muscle mass in elderly people are exercise snacking, stretching exercise, walking and tele exercise. All of the exercises showed significantly increased muscle mass and were easy to do, and those safety. The easiest is exercise snacking, but stretching exercise and walking around are more effective to increase the muscle mass and muscle strength compared to exercise snacking along. Conclusion: Sarcopenia can be prevented in older adults with in home-based exercise from habitual physical activity such as exercise snacking, stretching exercise, walking around, and tele-exercise.
