Performance of the SARC-F in identifying low grip strength and physical performance in older adults with cancer.

Remote, online geriatric assessment (GA) is gaining attention in oncology. Most GA domains can be assessed remotely. However, there is limited evidence identifying reliable tools that can be used in l... Data were prospectively collected from older adults with cancer of any type and stage who underwent GA in the geriatric oncology clinic of a tertiary cancer centre. Following GA, patients were asked t... Eighty (n = 80) older adults (mean age: 80 years) with cancer completed the SARC-F. A positive SARC-F was found in 31.3% of the cohort. Moderate correlations were found between the SPPB per point and ... SARC-F exhibited promising performance in identifying low grip strength per FNIH and low SPPB combined. To definitively assess the performance of the SARC-F in detecting low grip strength and SPPB, la...

Effect of a multicomponent programme based on reality orientation therapy on the physical performance and cognitive function of elderly community-dwellers: a quasi-experimental study.

Effects of a multicomponent exercise programme have an impact on the physical, cognitive, and psychological domains in elderly community-dwellers. However, some individuals aged 65 years or more have ... Participants were recruited from the general public in 20 areas of Akita Prefecture, Japan, and they took part in each exercise programme for 90 min a day, once every 2 weeks, for 3 months, according ... The final samples for analysis consisted of 31 participants in the control group and 30 participants in the intervention group. The results of the statistical analysis comparing the two groups showed ... The results of our quasi-experimental study indicated that the multicomponent programme based on the ROT would be as effective as the original multicomponent programme combined with aerobic exercise a...

Effects of Plyometric Training Direction on Physical Performance in Basketball Players.

The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of plyometric training direction on jumping, sprinting, and change-of-direction ability in basketball players.... Forty male basketball players (21.8 [3.8] y), from 4 teams that competed in regional and national championships, were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 groups: (1) vertical jump group, (2) horizontal jump g... The vertical and horizontal jump group showed significant increases in all performance variables examined, except for linear sprint performance, in which no group improved. The vertical jump group sho... These results indicate that combining vertical and horizontal jumps induces improvements in more capabilities than does training only vertical or horizontal jumps with the same training volume. Traini...
