Journal ArticleDOI
Sarcopenia, Dynapenia, and the Impact of Advancing Age on Human Skeletal Muscle Size and Strength; a Quantitative Review
TL;DR: The aim of this review is to present current knowledge of the decline in human muscle mass and strength with advancing age and the associated risk to health and survival and to review the underlying changes in muscle characteristics and the etiology of sarcopenia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in force, cross-sectional area and neural activation during strength training and detraining of the human quadriceps
TL;DR: Hypertrophy produced by strength training accounts for 40% of the increase in force while the remaining 60% seems to be attributable to an increased neural drive and possibly to changes in muscle architecture.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This study shows proof-of-principle that specific nutritional supplementation alone might benefit geriatric patients, especially relevant for those who are unable to exercise.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calf muscle-tendon properties and postural balance in old age
TL;DR: The hypothesis that compromised postural balance in older subjects is associated with changes in calf muscle-tendon physiological and mechanical properties is tested and may explain the majority of the variance in balance performance during tasks more difficult than habitual bipedal stance.
