Age- and sex-specific changes in lower-limb muscle power throughout the lifespan
Alcázar, Julián; Aagaard, Per; Haddock, Bryan; Kamper, Rikke S.; Hansen, Sofie K.; Prescott, Eva; Alegre, Luís; Frandsen, Ulrik; Suetta, Charlotte (Oxford, 2020-01)Background: Our main goal was to evaluate the pattern and time course of changes in relative muscle power and its constituting components throughout the lifespan. Methods: A total of 1305 subjects (729 women and 576 men; ... -
Assessment of functional sit-to-stand muscle power: Cross-sectional trajectories across the lifespan
Alcazar, Julian; Aagaard, Per; Haddock, Bryan; Kamper, Rikke S.; Hansen, Sofie K.; Prescott, Eva; Ara Royo, Ignacio; Alegre, Luis M.; Frandsen, Ulrik; Suetta, charlotte (Elsevier, 2021-09)Background: The 30-s sit-to-stand (STS) muscle power test is a valid test to assess muscle power in older people; however, whether it may be used to assess trajectories of lower-limb muscle power through the adult lifespan ... -
Changes in systemic GDF15 across the adult lifespan and their impact on maximal muscle power: the Copenhagen Sarcopenia Study
Alcazar, Julian; Frandsen, Ulrik; Prokhorova, Tatyana; Kamper, Rikke S.; Haddock, Bryan; Aagaard, Per; Suetta, charlotte (Wiley, 2021-10-06)Background Although growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) is known to increase with disease and is associated with low physical performance, the role of GDF15 in normal ageing is still not fully understood. Specifically, ... -
Relation between leg extension power and 30-s sit-to-stand muscle power in older adults: validation and translation to functional performance
Alcazar, Julian; Kamper, Rikke S.; Aagaard, Per; Haddock, Bryan; Prescott, Eva; Ara Royo, Ignacio; Suetta, Charlotte (Nature Publishing Group, 2020-10-01)This study aimed to assess the validity and functional relevance of a standardized procedure to assess lower limb muscle power by means of the 30-s sit-to-stand (STS) test when compared to leg extension power (LEP), ...
