Exercise for depression
Gillian Mead,Wendy Morley,Paul Campbell,Carolyn A. Greig,Marion E. T. McMurdo,Debbie A Lawlor +5 more
TL;DR: The effectiveness of exercise in the treatment of depression in adults compared with no treatment or a comparator intervention was determined and there were multiple sources of bias in many of the trials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strength, Power and Related Functional Ability of Healthy People Aged 65–89 Years
TL;DR: The decline of explosive power was faster than the decline of knee extensor strength in men, but not significantly so in women, and the differences in isometric strength and leg extensor power over the age range were equivalent to 'losses' of 1-2% per annum and approximately 3 1/2%, respectively.
