Strength asymmetry of the knee extensors and physical activity in middle-aged women

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Differences between muscle strength and power of lower limbs is one of the factors associated with falls in the elderly population. Muscle strength asymmetry of lower limbs increases with age. The aim of the study is to assess differences in the volume and intensity of physical activity (PA) in the subgroups of women being at higher and lower risk of falls (with and without strength asymmetry of the knee extensors of dominant and non-dominant lower limb). Data from 42 women (age 56.3 +- 4.4 years; weight 76.5 +- 16.1 kg; body height 164.3 +- 5.2 cm; body mass index 28.1 +- 5.3 kg ? m-2) were used for the purpose of the presented analysis. Furthermore the sample was divided into subgroups with lower and higher strength asymmetry of quadriceps muscle (asa criterion the asymmetry greater than 15% was chosen). Absolute concentric peak torque of the knee extensors was evaluated by an isokinetic dynamometer IsoMed 2000 in a sitting position at angular velocity of 180° ? s-1. PA was monitore
