We investigated whether the physiological complexity of the gait cycle covaries with experience of walking difficulty. Walking difficulty, gait speed, and gait cycle complexity were evaluated among 702 community-dwelling older people aged 75, 80, and 85 years who took part in the six-minute walking test in the research laboratory. Walking difficulty for 500 m was self-reported...

Pilates versus Zumba training effects on postural control under conflicting sensory conditions in postmenopausal women
In conclusion, Zumba training seems to be more effective and a better strategy to promote postural control in daily living activities and autonomy in postmenopausal women than Pilates training. These findings are useful for public health practitioners in designing physical interventions for balance disorders.PMID:38377666 | DOI:10.1016/j.exger.2024.112383 (Source: Experimental Gerontology)

The role of mitochondrial quality control mechanisms in chondrocyte senescence
Exp Gerontol. 2024 Feb 18:112379. doi: 10.1016/j.exger.2024.112379. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChondrocytes are the exclusive cellular constituents of articular cartilage, and their functional status governs the health of the cartilage. The primary factor contributing to the deterioration of cartilage structure and function is chondrocyte senescence. In hypoxia and hypodextrose environment, chondrocytes heavily rely on glycolysis for energy metabolism. Mitochondria, acting as the regulatory hub for chondrocyte energy metabolism, exhibit dysfunction before chondrocyte senescence, indicating their crucial involvement in t...

Sarcopenic patients "get even": The impact of COVID-19 vaccination on mortality
CONCLUSIONS: Our study represents the first attempt to analyze the vaccine's effect on survival in sarcopenic hospitalized older adults with COVID-19. The administration of vaccination to sarcopenic patients proves pivotal, as its omission could lead to notably unfavorable outcomes within this specific population.PMID:38369251 | DOI:10.1016/j.exger.2024.112382 (Source: Experimental Gerontology)

Multimodal and conventional resistance training interventions improve muscle function in older adults: Findings from the training IMCT study
In conclusion, we found that a resistance training intervention in which one weekly training session is replaced by plyometric training is feasible and as effective as a program consisting solely of conventional strength training sessions for inducing gains in muscle strength and function in older adults. Muscle size and architecture improved only in the MULTI group. German Clinical Trials: DRKS00015750.PMID:38355067 | DOI:10.1016/j.exger.2024.112378 (Source: Experimental Gerontology)
