Leveraging Professional Sports Teams to Encourage Healthy Behavior: A Review of 4 Years of Calgary Flames Health Training Camp Events.
Elaine M Ori,Elaine M Ori,Tanya R. Berry,Gavin R. McCormack,Kelly R Brett,George A Lambros,William A. Ghali +6 more
TL;DR: Self-report measures from 2017 suggest that already-active populations may be most interested in attending FHTC events, however, the events do appear to inspire attendees to consider behavioral changes for health, and helped to identify individuals with health risks requiring medical attention.

Reliability and validity of the finger flexor dynamometer
TL;DR: The novel dynamometer provides excellent reliability and construct validity and supports an objective diagnosis of finger limitations by quantifying the flexion force magnitude and can be monitored more precisely.

Age-related differences of vastus lateralis muscle morphology, contractile properties, upper body grip strength and lower extremity functional capability in healthy adults aged 18 to 70 years
TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluated age-related differences in indices of vastus lateralis (VL) muscle morphology, function and functional capability in a sample of healthy males and females aged 18-70yrs.
Normes locomotrices et étude de l’association entre capacités locomotrices et facteurs de risque cardiovasculaires
TL;DR: La presence de facteurs de risque cardiovasculaires semble etre correlee a de moins bonne performances locomotrices en ce qui concerne la vitesse de marche, l’equilibre unipodal et le TUG test.

A Proportional Hazards Model for the Subdistribution of a Competing Risk
Jason P. Fine,Robert Gray +1 more
TL;DR: This article proposes methods for combining estimates of the cause-specific hazard functions under the proportional hazards formulation, but these methods do not allow the analyst to directly assess the effect of a covariate on the marginal probability function.

TL;DR: In this article, a systematic literature search was conducted for observational cohort studies using MEDLINE (1966 to December 31, 2008) and EMBASE (1980 to December 30, 2008), which reported associations of baseline cardiorespiratory fitness with CHD events, CVD events, or all-cause mortality in healthy participants.

A review of the measurement of grip strength in clinical and epidemiological studies: towards a standardised approach
Helen C. Roberts,Hayley J Denison,Helen J Martin,Harnish P. Patel,Holly E. Syddall,Cyrus Cooper,Avan Aihie Sayer +6 more
TL;DR: A standardised method of measuring grip strength would enable more consistent measurement of grip strength and better assessment of sarcopenia.

Strength, But Not Muscle Mass, Is Associated With Mortality in the Health, Aging and Body Composition Study Cohort
Anne B. Newman,Varant Kupelian,Marjolein Visser,Eleanor M. Simonsick,Bret H. Goodpaster,Stephen B. Kritchevsky,Frances A. Tylavsky,Susan M. Rubin,Tamara B. Harris +8 more
TL;DR: Low muscle mass did not explain the strong association of strength with mortality, demonstrating that muscle strength as a marker of muscle quality is more important than quantity in estimating mortality risk.
