Muscle strength, functional endurance and health related quality of life in active older female golfers
No full textBackground: Grip strength is a reliable predictor of whole body strength in older adults, but muscle characteristics of people with different activity levels have not been studied previously. The present study examined the relationship between grip strength (GS), quadriceps peak torque (QPT), functional endurance, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in older female golfers.
Methods: Twenty-nine healthy female golfers (mean age 69.1 years, SD 3.4) participated. The ISOCOM and JAMAR dynamometers were used to assess QPT and GS, respectively. Functional endurance tests included 1-min sit-to-stand test (1MSTS), 30-s wall press (30SWP), and 2-min stair climb (2MSC). HRQol was assessed using the SF-36 questionnaire.
Results: Mean GS and QPT were 27.5 ± 4 kg/f and 103.7 ± 25.1 N m, respectively. Mean scores for the 1MSTS, 30SWP, and 2MSC were 31 ± 7.7, 17.4 ± 3.5, and 237.5 ± 48.6 repetitions, respectively. GS was moderately correlated with QPT (r = 0.44), 1MSTS (r = 0.36), and 2MSC (r = 0.36), but had weak correlation with 30SWP (r = 0.003). Moderate correlation was observed between quadriceps peak torque and the 1MSTS (r = 0.50; p = 0.01), 2MSC (r = 0.44; p = 0.02) and 30SWP (r = 0.33). 30SWP and 2MSC had moderate correlations with PF r = 0.41 (p = 0.03) and r = 0.61 (p < 0.0005) and general physical well-being r = 0.47 (p = 0.01) and r = 0.39 (p = 0.04), respectively.
Conclusion: Quadriceps strength was more closely associated with functional endurance than grip strength. A single strength measure may not reflect overall muscle characteristics in active older females, and hence, assessment of both upper and lower limb strengths may be appropriate

No full textQuadriceps muscle tone, elasticity and stiffness in older males: reliability and symmetry using the MyotonPRO
No full textBackgroundThe MyotonPRO (Myoton Ltd; London) is a new portable device for measuring muscle mechanical properties (e.g. tone) and its reliability has yet to be established. Little is known about between-limb symmetry of mechanical properties in healthy older people, despite symmetry often being used as a measure of unilateral abnormalities in clinical assessment. Since quadriceps is important for mobility, it was selected for the present study.AimsTo investigate: (i) between-day intra-rater reliability of a novice user of MyotonPRO; (ii) between-side symmetry of mechanical properties of quadriceps in older males.MethodsTwenty healthy, community dwelling, right-lower-limb-dominant males (mean age 71.7, range 65–82 years) were studied. With the participant in relaxed supine lying, the MyotonPRO applied two consecutive sets of 10 taps to induce muscle oscillations of rectus femoris, from which measurements of decrement (elasticity), frequency (tone), and stiffness were obtained. Tests were performed on two occasions at the same time and day of the week, one week apart.ResultsRepeated measurements had very high within-day (intraclass correlation coefficient, ICC 3,1 > 0.90) and high between-day (ICC 3,2 > 0.70; mean of two measurement sets) reliability. There was no statistically significant difference between muscle mechanical properties of the dominant and non-dominant muscles (<2.5% difference; p > 0.05), thereby indicating symmetry.ConclusionsHigh intra-rater reliability was established for MyotonPRO measurements of quadriceps in healthy older males, which were symmetrical between sides. These findings indicate that larger studies are warranted to establish normal reference ranges of data with which to compare patients with muscle abnormalities.<br/
