BACKGROUND: Reference values for the incremental shuttle walking test (ISWT) which are
applicable to the whole population need to be solidly established. This study aimed to …

Poor posture control has been associated with an increased risk of falls and mobility disability
among older adults. This study was conducted to assess the test–retest reliability and …

Different types of exercise are indicated for the elderly to prevent functional capacity limitations
due to aging and reduce the risk of falls. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of three …

Aging is associated with sarcopenia and dynapenia, with both processes contributing to
functional dependence and mortality in older adults. Resistance training (RT) and increased …

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of two different resistance
training (RT) prescription methods on phase angle (PA) in older women. Seventy-six older …

Background and purpose: There is a growing body of evidence indicating that phase angle (PhA)
can be used as an indicator of nutritional status, disease prognosis, and mortality risk; …

Muscle fatigue can influence the various mechanisms that regulate balance. Few studies
have investigated the effects of trunk extensor muscle fatigue on postural control. The purpose …

BACKGROUND: Clinical and laboratory methods have been developed to assess the different
dimensions of postural control with the aim to increase the clinical relevance of decisions …

BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that individuals with COPD have impaired body balance,
