PLoS One
. 2025 Feb;
20(2):e0314456.
PMID: 39899499
Introduction: The ability to perform bodily movement varies in ageing men and women. We investigated whether physical fitness may explain sex differences in daily physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE) among...

Int J Behav Nutr Phys Act
. 2024 Nov;
21(1):130.
PMID: 39533320
Background: Favorable movement behavior patterns, comprising more physical activity, less sedentary behavior, and sufficient sleep, may promote the maintenance of good quality of life (QoL) with advancing age. The aim...

. 2024 Sep;
:8982643241282918.
PMID: 39259875
To examine the reciprocal associations between walking performance, physical activity (PA), and perceived autonomy in outdoor mobility in 322 older adults. At baseline and four years later, a 6-min walk...

Menopause
. 2024 Jul;
31(9):828-836.
PMID: 39042026
Objective: The aim of the study was to conduct exploratory analyses on the role of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and body composition in the association between physical activity and menopausal symptoms....

Med Sci Sports Exerc
. 2024 May;
56(9):1672-1677.
PMID: 38768057
Purpose: Habitual strength and power-demanding activities of daily life may support the maintenance of adequate lower extremity functioning with aging, but this has been sparingly explored. Hence, we examined whether...

Aging Clin Exp Res
. 2024 Apr;
36(1):85.
PMID: 38558262
Background: Among older people, community mobility was reduced at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the longer-term changes are unclear. Aims: To study lower extremity performance and car driving...

Exp Gerontol
. 2024 Feb;

PMID: 38382681
Among older people, walking difficulty results from actual and perceived declines in physical capacities and environmental requirements for walking. We investigated whether the physiological complexity of the gait cycle covaries...

. 2024 Feb;
32(4):472-479.
PMID: 38364819
We identified data-driven multidimensional physical activity (PA) profiles using several novel accelerometer-derived metrics. Participants aged 75, 80, and 85 (n = 441) wore triaxial accelerometers for 3-7 days. PA profiles...

32(2):198-206.
PMID: 38016452
This study aimed to compare community-dwelling older adults' physical activity (PA) during the COVID-19 restrictions in 2020 to their PA levels 2 years before and investigate associations between earlier physical...

Exp Gerontol
. 2023 Sep;
182:112292.
PMID: 37738781
Introduction: We examined whether autonomic nervous system (ANS) and postural control regulation during orthostatic test reflect physical resilience by studying their associations with maximal walking speed and mortality. Methods: The...
