Hazards of hospitalization of the elderly.
TL;DR: The functional capacities that change with usual aging and that are further modified by hospitalization are outlined, along with the functional consequences of the interaction (Table 1).

A Conceptual Framework of Frailty A Review
TL;DR: It is proposed that frailty is a body-wide set of linked deteriorations including, but not confined to, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, metabolic, and immunologic systems and should thereby be susceptible to active intervention and reversal.

Synchronization of human motor units: possible roles of exercise and supraspinal reflexes
TL;DR: It is suggested that supraspinal connections from motor cortex directly to spinal motoneurons may be enhanced as a result of training to the point where they produce a significant synchronization of motor units during steady, voluntary contractions.

TL;DR: Peripheral muscle weakness is enhanced during an acute exacerbation of COPD, and CXCL8 and IGF-I may be involved in the development of peripheral muscle weakness in hospitalised and in stable patients with COPD.

TL;DR: In this paper, a proposed standard procedure for static muscle strength testing was proposed for static strength testing in industrial hygienic environments, which was later adopted by the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIAHA).
