“…Cross-sectional design was used in eighteen studies, while cohort baseline data was used in four studies and RCT baseline data was used in one study. The studies were conducted on diverse regions, such as Japan (6 studies), 19 , 35 – 39 Brazil (5 studies), 40 – 44 Korea (3 studies), 45 – 47 United States (2 studies), 48 , 49 Indonesia (2 studies), 50 , 51 and one study in Germany, 52 Poland, 53 Norway, 54 Spain, 55 and Peru. 56 A total of 3580 (male = 1108, female = 2472) subjects were recorded from the included studies.…”

Background: Declining muscle mass is not always accompanied by declining muscle strength in older adults, challenging the notion that low muscle mass is the sole criterion for diagnosing sarcopenia. Objective: This review aims to find out the relationships between muscle mass and muscle strength with physical performance in older adults. Design: This article was a systematic review using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines. Data Sources and Methods: We do a systematic search of observational studies that are published between 2013 and August 2023 in PubMed, ScienceDirect, Sage journal, Tripdatabase, Cochrane Library, Embase, and CINAHL. Two reviewers selected and extracted data independently and an association measure was recorded from included studies. Results: The review analyzed 17 observational studies conducted between 2013 and September 2023. The findings suggest that while declining muscle mass is often associated with sarcopenia, it may not always correspond to declining muscle strength in older individuals. The most common method used to measure muscle mass was bioelectrical impedance analysis, while handgrip strength was the predominant measure of muscle strength. Tests such as timed up and go and gait speed were used to assess physical performance. Conclusions: Physical performance in older adults is significantly related to muscle strength, whereas the relationship between muscle mass and physical performance is either weak or negligible. Therefore, when evaluating physical performance in older individuals, focusing on muscle strength is more important than muscle mass alone.

“…None of the studies discussed the normalization of speed to an individual’s leg length, although gait speed is directly affected by stride length. Other factors, such as lower extremity strength, may also contribute more to gait speed than thoracic kyphosis 60-63…”

studies. Studies have assessed various physical function categories, including strength, gait, and balance. Future studies could determine the categories of function most affected so that preventive interventions could target hyperkyphosis appropriately. Conclusions: Hyperkyphosis was associated with lower physical function in older females. Three cohort studies suggest that greater kyphosis angles may predict greater loss of physical function over time. These results imply that therapies that help to minimize hyperkyphosis may help preserve function in older females.

“…Of particular interest, a strong genetic correlation was observed between self-reported walking pace and handgrip strength, even after adjusting for body mass index (BMI), suggesting a shared genetic basis for these traits [ 4 ]. There is a close relationship between muscle strength, height and walking speed [ 3 , 5 , 6 , 7 ], and all of them are key intermediate phenotypes for sprinters [ 8 ]. Sprint speed is a product of step length and step rate; to sprint fast, first of all, one needs to be able to generate large strides, which requires muscle strength [ 9 ].…”

Brisk walkers are physically more active, taller, have reduced body fat and greater physical fitness and muscle strength. The aim of our study was to determine whether genetic variants associated with increased walking pace were overrepresented in elite sprinters compared to controls. A total of 70 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) previously identified in a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of self-reported walking pace in 450,967 European individuals were explored in relation to sprinter status. Genotyping of 137 Russian elite sprinters and 126 controls was performed using microarray technology. Favorable (i.e., high-speed-walking) alleles of 15 SNPs (FHL2 rs55680124 C, SLC39A8 rs13107325 C, E2F3 rs4134943 T, ZNF568 rs1667369 A, GDF5 rs143384 G, PPARG rs2920503 T, AUTS2 rs10452738 A, IGSF3 rs699785 A, CCT3 rs11548200 T, CRTAC1 rs2439823 A, ADAM15 rs11264302 G, C6orf106 rs205262 A, AKAP6 rs12883788 C, CRTC1 rs11881338 A, NRXN3 rs8011870 G) were identified as having positive associations with sprinter status (p < 0.05), of which IGSF3 rs699785 survived correction for multiple testing (p = 0.00004) and was linked (p = 0.042) with increased proportions of fast-twitch muscle fibers of m. vastus lateralis in physically active men (n = 67). Polygenic analysis revealed that individuals with ≥18 favorable alleles of the 15 SNPs have an increased odds ratio of being an elite sprinter when compared to those with ≤17 alleles (OR: 7.89; p < 0.0001). Using UK Biobank data, we also established the association of 14 favorable alleles with low BMI and fat percentage, 8 alleles with increased handgrip strength, and 7 alleles with increased height and fat-free mass. In conclusion, we have identified 15 new genetic markers associated with sprinter status.
