Effects of a 20-week high-intensity strength and sprint training program on tibial bone structure and strength in middle-aged and older male sprint a…
2017
This randomized, controlled, high-intensity strength and sprint training trial in middle-aged and older male sprint athletes showed significant improvements in mid-tibial structure and strength. The study reveals the adaptability of aging bone, suggesting that through a novel, intensive training stimulus it is possible to strengthen bones during aging. High-load, high-speed and impact-type exercise may be an efficient way of improving bone strength even in old age. We evaluated the effects of combined strength and sprint training on indices of bone health in competitive masters athletes, who serve as a group of older people who are likely to be able to participate in vigorous exercise of th…
Declining Physical Performance Associates with Serum FasL, miR-21, and miR-146a in Aging Sprinters.
2016
Aging is associated with systemic inflammation and cellular apoptosis accelerating physiological dysfunctions. Whether physically active way of life affects these associations is unclear. This study measured the levels of serum inflammatory and apoptotic molecules, their change over 10 years, and their associations with physical performance in sprint-trained male athletes. HsCRP, cell counts, HGB, FasL, miR-21, and miR-146a were measured cross-sectionally (n=67, 18–90 yrs) and serum FasL, miR-21, and miR-146a and their aging-related associations with physical performance were assessed over a 10-year follow-up (n=49, 50–90 yrs). The cross-sectional study showed positive age correlations for …
Specific distribution of cross-sectional area in each hamstring muscle of sprint runners and relationship between those and sprint performance
2018
The purpose of the present study was to examine characteristics of muscle anatomical cross-sectional area (CSA) for different regions from proximal to distal parts of each muscle of the hamstring muscles in high-level sprinters, and to examine the relationship with those and the sprint performance. The CSA of the semitendinosus (ST), semimembranosus (SM), biceps femoris long head (BFL) and biceps femoris short head (BFS) at the four different region of hamstring muscles for twenty sprinters (SPRINT) and twenty healthy male control subjects (CTRL) were measured by using B-mode ultrasonography. The measured regions were divided into four parts from proximal to distal parts (PRO1, PRO2, DIS2, …
Iän vaikutus lihasarkkitehtuuriin 16-85-vuotiailla pikajuoksijoilla
2003
Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää ikääntymisen vaikutusta vastuslateraliksen (VL), gastrocnemius medialiksen (GM) ja gastrocnemius lateraliksen (GL)paksuuteen, lihassyykimppujen pennaatiokulmaan sekä pituuteen. Koehenkilöinä oli 9316-85-vuotiasta miespikajuoksijaa, jotka harrastivat kilpailumielessä pikajuoksuaveteraanisarjoissa. Pennaatiokulmat ja lihaspaksuudet mitattiin yhdestä kohdastalihaksen päältä reaaliaikaisella B-mallin ultraäänilaitteella ja lihassyykimpun pituusarvioitiin pennaatiokulman ja lihaspaksuuden avulla.Korrelaatioanalyysi osoitti sekä absoluuttisen että raajan pituuteen suhteutetun lihaksenpaksuuden vähenevän merkitsevästi kaildssa mitatuissa lihaksissa iän…
