“…This might guarantee an adequate progression of the training schemes and their execution. We have, in fact, shown in two case reports how two women aged 52 and 72 with osteoarticular pathologies (spondyloarthritis and osteoarthritis, respectively) have obtained significant improvements in powerlifting performance (+100 kg in deadlift) and in QOL (Cannataro et al, 2021b ; Malorgio et al, 2021 ). From the basic strength conditioning to specific results, they spend 2 and 5 years, respectively.…”

“…Various types of resistance training have been proposed as useful approaches for improving body composition, muscle strength, power, and physical function in older adults (Baena-Marín et al, 2022 ). Among these, suspension-based resistance training (S-RT) involves attaching body segments to suspended hanging straps, creating an unstable environment, and performing multi-planar and multi-joint exercises while fighting gravity (Byrne et al, 2014 ; Mok et al, 2015 ; Cugliari and Boccia, 2017 ; Consitt et al, 2019 ; Cannataro et al, 2021b ). Research on the acute effects of S-RT has shown similar results compared to traditional weight resistance training conducted in a stable environment (Sun et al, 2018 ; Jiménez-García et al, 2019 ).…”

The loss of muscle mass and strength in elderly population (especially after the age of 65–70) represents a public health problem. Due to the high prevalence of frailty in older adults, cardiovascular or low-intensity exercise is implemented as first choice option. Although beneficial these training schemes are not as effective as strength-based resistance training for increasing muscle strength and hypertrophy. In fact, when performed progressively and under professional supervision, strength-based training has been proposed as an important and valid methodology to reduce sarcopenia-related problems. In this mini-review, we not only summarize the benefits of weight resistance training but also highlight practical recommendations and other non-conventional methods (e.g., suspension training) as part of an integral anti-sarcopenia strategy. Future directions including cluster set configurations and high-speed resistance training are also outlined.

“…Significant improvements in muscle strength and size have been reported in training programs that include 1–3 sets per exercise [ 83 ] with an adjustment of the numbers of repetitions that considers the maximum number that can be performed with a given intensity (max effort) [ 84 ]. Even in delicate conditions such as osteoarthritis or spondylarthritis, strength training can give excellent results [ 85 , 86 ]. Lastly, in order to continually reach improvements in mass, strength, and functional capacity, it is key to consistently incorporate progression and variation into the program.…”

Sarcopenia, an age-related decline in skeletal muscle mass and function, dramatically affects the quality of life. Although there is a consensus that sarcopenia is a multifactorial syndrome, the etiology and underlying mechanisms are not yet delineated. Moreover, research about nutritional interventions to prevent the development of sarcopenia is mainly focused on the amount and quality of protein intake. The impact of several nutrition strategies that consider timing of food intake, anti-inflammatory nutrients, metabolic control, and the role of mitochondrial function on the progression of sarcopenia is not fully understood. This narrative review summarizes the metabolic background of this phenomenon and proposes an integral nutritional approach (including dietary supplements such as creatine monohydrate) to target potential molecular pathways that may affect reduce or ameliorate the adverse effects of sarcopenia. Lastly, miRNAs, in particular those produced by skeletal muscle (MyomiR), might represent a valid tool to evaluate sarcopenia progression as a potential rapid and early biomarker for diagnosis and characterization.

Circulating miRNA Correlates with Lipid Profile and Disease Activity in Psoriatic Arthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Ankylosing Spondylitis Patients

This study aimed to investigate the associations of microRNA (miRs) signatures with cytokines, serum lipids, and disease activity in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In total, 65 patients (PsA n = 25, AS n = 25, RA n = 15) and 25 healthy controls (HC) were enrolled into the study. The expression of miR-223-5p, miR-92b-3p, miR-485-3p, miR-10b-5p, let-7d-5p, miR-26a-2-3p, miR-146b-3p, and cytokines levels were measured in sera. DIANA-mirPath analysis was used to predict pathways targeted by the dysregulated miRs. Disease activity scores were calculated. Lipid profile, uric acid, glucose level, and C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations were determined in the blood. Based on lipid profiles, the PsA group had hypertriglyceridaemia, and RA patients revealed mixed dyslipidaemia, while in AS, no specific changes were found. miR expression analysis revealed upregulation of miR-26a-2-3p and miR-10b-5p in PsA, miR-485-3p in AS, and let-7d-5p in RA. Several correlations between disease activity indexes, metabolites levels, and expression of miRs were observed in PsA, RA, and AS patients. Finally, in ROC analysis, miR-26a-2-3p/miR-485-3p, and let-7d-5p/miR-146b-3p tandems revealed high sensitivity and specificity in distinguishing between PsA, AS, and RA. Our study illustrates the superiority of miR expressions in distinguishing between RA, PsA, and AS. In PsA, a unique regulatory pathway exists through miR-26a-2-3p, miR-223-5p, miR-10b-5p, and miR-92b-3p that converges proatherogenic metabolism and disease activity.
