Resistance exercise as a treatment for sarcopenia: prescription and delivery

Christopher Hurst et al.

Summary: Sarcopenia is a muscle disorder characterized by reduced strength and mass, with resistance exercise recommended as the primary treatment. However, evidence on its benefits for sarcopenic older adults is limited, and optimal prescription and delivery remain unclear. The proposed resistance exercise program for sarcopenia includes two sessions per week focusing on upper- and lower-body exercises with high effort, serving as a valuable resource for clinicians and researchers.

Prevalence and factors associated with poor performance in the 5-chair stand test: findings from the Cognitive Function and Ageing Study II and proposed Newcastle protocol for use in the assessment of sarcopenia

Richard Matthew Dodds et al.

Summary: Poor performance in the 5-CST is common with age and is associated with factors such as physical inactivity, impaired cognition, and multimorbidity. We recommend using the 5-CST in clinical settings with a provided protocol.

What Cut-Point in Gait Speed Best Discriminates Community-Dwelling Older Adults With Mobility Complaints From Those Without? A Pooled Analysis From the Sarcopenia Definitions and Outcomes Consortium

Peggy M. Cawthon et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that walking speed cut-points of approximately 0.60 m/s and 0.75 m/s can effectively discriminate individuals with self-reported mobility limitation from those without, with minimal need for reclassification.

Prevalence of sarcopenia and associated factors in older adults attending a day hospital service in Ireland

Kieron Connolly et al.

Summary: The prevalence of sarcopenia in community-dwelling older adults attending a day hospital in Ireland ranged from 27 to 37%, and was associated with factors such as older age, female gender, reduced BMI, reduced calf circumference, frailty, malnutrition, and reduced gait speed. Further research on the assessment methods of sarcopenia is needed.
