Mashup Score: 4
Background Weak lower body strength and balance impairments are fundamental risk factors for mobility impairments and falls that can be improved by physical activity (PA). Previous meta-analyses have focused on these risk factors in adults aged ≥ 65 years. Yet, the potential of PA for improving these risk factors in middle-aged populations has not been systematically investigated. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to examine the effect of general and structured PA on lower limb strength, postural balance and falls in middle-aged adults. Methods A computerized systematic literature search was conducted in the electronic databases MEDLINE, CINAHL, Web of Science and Cochrane Library. PA intervention types were classified according to the ProFaNE taxonomy. Randomized controlled trials exploring the effects of PA on strength (e.g., leg press one-repetition-maximum), balance (e.g., single limb stance) and falls (e.g., fall rates) in adults aged 40–60 years were systematically sea

Mashup Score: 1Effect of Aerobic/Strength Training on RANKL Gene DNA Methylation Levels - 11 month(s) ago
Background: The osteoclastogenesis RANKL gene plays a key role in bone remodeling. The hypomethylation of its promoter region may cause osteoporosis. The present study aimed to elucidate the influence of physical activity on DNA methylation changes of RANKL promoter cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG)-rich region in active and sedentary adults and to assess the effect of aerobic and strength…

Mashup Score: 4
Strength recommendations have been embedded within the UK’s Chief Medical Officers’ physical activity guidelines since 2011. In 2019, they were given a more prominent position in the accompanying infographic. However, there is limited evidence that these recommendations have been successful in their population-wide dissemination. This study aimed to explore the engagement of community-dwelling…

Mashup Score: 0Normal Values of the Second Interosseous Pinch: A Measurement of Pure Ulnar-Innervated Intrinsic Muscles of the Hand - 1 year(s) ago
The second palmar interosseous muscle is innervated solely by the ulnar nerve, and second palmar interosseous pinch (2IP) strength may be a good indicator of ulnar nerve motor function. The goal of this study was to describe the 2IP test and establish its normative values, stratified by age, sex, and dominance.
