Background Hand grip strength (HGS) is used for the diagnosis of sarcopenia and frailty.
Several factors have been shown to influence HGS values during measurement. Therefore …

The response to exercise training (trainability) has been shown to have a strong heritable
component. There is growing evidence suggesting that traits such as trainability do not only …

The ability of skeletal muscles to produce force at a high velocity, which is crucial for success
in power and sprint performance, is strongly influenced by genetics and without the …

The age-related decline in skeletal muscle mass, strength and function known as
'sarcopenia'is associated with multiple adverse health outcomes, including cardiovascular …

Alternative measures of muscle size, strength, and power to those used in previous studies
could help resolve the controversy surrounding associations between polymorphisms of the …

Objective The special status accorded to elite athletes stems from their uncommon genetic
potential to excel in world-class power sports (PS). Genetic polymorphisms have been …

Frailty is associated with loss of functional reserve as well as with the prediction of adverse
events in the old population. The traditional criteria of frailty are based on five physical …

A small number of excellent papers on exercise genomics issues have been published in
2012. A new PYGM knock-in mouse model will provide opportunities to investigate the …

Persons aged 80 years and older are the fastest growing segment of the population. As
more individuals live longer, we should try to understand the mechanisms involved in …
