“…In Sanda events, players should fully use their physical potential to perform single or multiple technical movements with maximum efficiency. 8 During the practice process, the coaches should pay attention to the speed of practicing Sanda athletes and, at the same time, master the connection of various boxing methods, leg methods, throwing methods, punches, feet, etc. In this way, the comprehensive ability of Sanda players can be improved.…”

Introduction: Chinese boxing demands the maximum potential from its practitioners. The quality of executions of single or multiple punches depends on adequate strength training, and the quality of speed is a crucial factor for victory in Chinese boxing competitions. Objective: Explore the effects of strength training on the speed of punches in Chinese boxing athletes. Methods: Eighteen Chinese boxers were selected by random sampling. The competitors perform functional exercises directed at strength training for ten weeks. Several key points of sports aerobics were comprehensively evaluated. Mathematical and statistical methods were applied in processing the data before and after the intervention. Results: The speed quality of Chinese boxing practitioners after strength training was statistically beneficial (P<0.05). Only the particular qualities of strength did not show significant differences among the four unique qualities of strength analyzed; there were significant differences among the other three abilities (P<0.05). Conclusion: The introduction of functional strength training into the physical training of high-level Chinese boxing athletes can significantly improve the quality of movement speed. Functional strength exercises are a safe and efficient form of exercise. This training protocol provides a good reference to compensate for the shortfall in conventional strength exercises.

“…2 A frailty phenotype among those with asthma or COPD (both obstructive lung diseases [OLDs]) is associated with higher risk of hospitalizations, functional decline, and death. [3][4][5][6][7] Chemosensory dysfunction has been linked to physical frailty, and some studies have demonstrated robust associations. [8][9][10][11] Other sensory impairments (e.g., vision and hearing) predict frailty and may be a part of a frailty syndrome.…”

BackgroundFrailty is prevalent among older adults with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (obstructive lung diseases [OLDs]). Frailty and OLD's co‐occurrence is associated with increased hospitalization/mortality. Chemosensory dysfunction is closely connected to both OLD and frailty. We evaluated the utility of olfactory decline as a biomarker of frailty in the setting of OLD.MethodsWe performed a prospective, longitudinal, nationally representative study of community‐dwelling older US adults in the National Social Life, Health and Aging Project, an omnibus in‐home survey. Respondents reported a physician's diagnosis of OLD. Decline in odor identification and sensitivity over 5 years and frailty (adapted fried frailty phenotype criteria) were measured using standard tools. Multivariate logistic regressions evaluated the association between OLD status, olfactory decline, and frailty.ResultsWe compared individuals with OLD (n = 98; mean age 71.2 years, 59.2% women) and those without OLD (n = 1036; mean age 69.5 years, 58.9% women). Olfactory identification decline was associated with developing frailty over the 5‐year follow‐up period in individuals with OLD (odds ratio [OR] = 9.1, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.1–38.6, p = 0.003). Olfactory decline predicted incidence of frailty in individuals with OLD (identification: OR = 4.8, 95% CI = 1.3–17.5, P = 0.018; sensitivity: OR = 6.1, 95%CI = 1.2–31.0, p = 0.030) but not in those without OLD adjusting for demographics, heavy alcohol use, current smoking, and comorbidity. Results were robust to different thresholds for olfactory decline and frailty development.ConclusionsOlder adults with OLD who experience olfactory decline face higher odds of developing frailty. Use of olfactory decline as a biomarker to identify frailty could allow earlier intervention and decrease adverse outcomes for high‐risk older adults with OLD.

Handgrip strength as a diagnostic tool for frailty risk in elderly patients with moderate to severe asthma

et al. 2023

To evaluate handgrip strength (HGS) as a diagnostic tool for frailty risk in elderly patients with asthma, as well as to investigate the prevalence of frailty in this population. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study including 96 patients = 60 years of age diagnosed with moderate to severe asthma and treated at a tertiary referral center in Brazil. We measured HGS using a calibrated hydraulic hand dynamometer. We used a frailty scale and the AUC to assess the diagnostic accuracy of the HGS test. Results: The median age of participants was 67 years. Most (78%) were women and non-White (91%) of low socioeconomic status. HGS identified those at risk for frailty, with an AUC of 71.6% (61.5-80.4%; p < 0.002), as well as a sensitivity of 73.58% and a specificity of 67.53%, on the basis of a cutoff of = 19 kgf. Conclusions: HGS appears to be a simple, reliable tool for clinicians to determine frailty risk in older asthma patients in a point-of-care setting.
