Q

In vitro studies of type I and type IIA muscle fibres found:

A

Q

Describe the reduction in anabolic hormones with aging:

A
  • decrease GH, ILGF-1, estrogen/progesterone (effect on bone density), testosterone, and other androgens that are linked to a decrease in muscle mass and increase in BF

Q

Sarcopenia spectrum:

A
  1. risk of falls
  2. metabolic disorders
  3. immune dysfunction
  4. mortality
22
Q

Risk of falls can mean:

A
  • potential fractures
  • impaired ADL
  • functional disabilities
23
Q

Metabolic disorders include:

A
  • insulin resistance

- arthritis

24
Q

Immune dysfunction include:

A
  • infection
  • complications
  • increased length of hospital stay
25
Q

Obesity impact to health and wellness:

A
  • glucose regulation
  • depression
  • CVD
  • hypertension
26
Q

Sarcopenia impact to health and wellness:

A
  • mobility/frailty
  • joint disorders
  • strength/power
  • functional capacity
27
Q

Prevention/treatment of sarcopenia:

A

healthy diet and activity (resistance and aerobic exercise)

28
Q

Aerobic activity effects:

A
  • improves CV fitness and endurance capacity
  • also helps with weight reduction thereby improving insulin sensitivity
  • not enough to maintain muscle mass
29
Q

Strength and power resistance training effects:

A
  • reverses muscle weakness of sarcopenia
  • shown to build muscle mass; increase strength (force production) and power (product of force and velocity)
  • resistance training reverses functional decline in the elderly
30
Q

Nutritional aspects in the treatment/prevention of sarcopenia:

A
  • adequate nutrition
  • protein intake (synthesis)
  • energy intake (weight and muscle loss)
  • vitamin D
  • antioxidant nutrients
  • polyunsaturated fatty acids
31
Q
