Does a bicycle accident as the cause of proximal femur fracture indicate that geriatric co-management is superfluous? A retrospective cohort study
ConclusionsAlthough older  hip fracture patients who had a bicycle accident appeared more healthy than other older hip fracture patients, their clinical course was not more favorable. Based on this study, a bicycle accident is not an indicator that geriatric co-management can be omitted. (Source: European Review of Aging and Physical Activity)

Systematic review of candidate prognostic factors for falling in older adults identified from motion analysis of challenging walking tasks
In conclusion, studies comparing older to younger adults cannot be used to explore relationships between fall risk and motion analysis parameters. Even when comparing two older adult populations, it is necessary to measure fall history to identify fall risk prognostic factors. (Source: European Review of Aging and Physical Activity)

Exercise based reduction of falls in communitydwelling older adults: a network meta-analysis
ConclusionPhysical activity that includes balance training presents itself to be the most effective. Multifactorial approaches are well investigated but could be slightly less effective than isolated postural control training. (Source: European Review of Aging and Physical Activity)

The value of walking: a systematic review on mobility and healthcare costs
ConclusionCross-sectional and observational studies from this systematic review suggest a significant association of better walking performance with lower health care costs. Future health economic research and health technology assessments should use quantifiable mobility outcomes when evaluating new drugs or non-pharmacological interventions.

Impacts of COVID-19 restrictions on level of physical activity and health in home-dwelling older adults in Norway
ConclusionsIn a relatively highly educated and active group of older participants, COVID-19 restrictions still negatively affected level of activity as well as general and mental health. These short-term decreases in activity level and health suggest that preventive actions and increased focus on measures to support older adults in maintaining an active lifestyle are needed.

Spatiotemporal gait parameters in young individuals wearing an age simulation suit compared to healthy older individuals
ConclusionWearing an age simulation suit while walking on a treadmill with a self-selected walking speed alters some, but not all, measured spatiotemporal parameters to approximate a gait pattern similar to that of an older individual. (Source: European Review of Aging and Physical Activity)

The burden of mild cognitive impairment attributable to physical inactivity in Colombia
ConclusionPhysical activity, whether walking or vigorous sport and exercise, has the potential to substantially reduce the burden of mild cognitive impairment in Colombia. (Source: European Review of Aging and Physical Activity)

Onset of the COVID-19 pandemic reduced active time in patients with implanted cardiac devices
ConclusionThe onset of the pandemic in the United States was associated with a significant drop in PPM and ICD patient active hours that was modestly more pronounced in less active patients and cannot be explained by one year of aging or seasonal variation. If sustained, these populations may experience excess cardiovascular morbidity. (Source: European Review of Aging and Physical Activity)

Heavy-load exercise in older adults activates vasculogenesis and has a stronger impact on muscle gene expression than in young adults
ConclusionsThe positive impact of heavy-load strength training on the transcriptome increased markedly with age. The identified molecular changes translate to improved vascularization and muscular strength, suggesting highly beneficial health effects for older adults.

Effects of functional training with blood occlusion on the irisin, follistatin, and myostatin myokines in elderly men
ConclusionThe findings showed that FT was effective in increasing circulating biomarkers involved in hypertrophy in older adults while adding BFR to FT had a slight increase in these biomarkers but had a tremendous increase in muscle strength.

The effect of exercise modality on age-related changes observed during running
ConclusionDespite type of exercise modality, regularly participating in exercise has positive effects. This is evident through the preservation of the function of the lower extremity with age, specifically function of the ankle, and its contribution to healthy movement patterns.

Physical activity and recurrent fall risk in community-dwelling Japanese people aged 40 –74 years: the Murakami cohort study
ConclusionsMedium level leisure-time PA reduces the risk of recurrent falls in middle-aged and older people, whereas higher level non-leisure-time PA is associated with a higher risk of recurrent falls. (Source: European Review of Aging and Physical Activity)
