1.
The associations of positive and negative mental well-being with physical activity during the COVID-19 across late adulthood
Savikangas T, Kekalainen T, Tirkkonen A, Sipila S, Kokko K
BMC Public Health . 2024 Nov; 24(1):3288. PMID: 39592965
Background: Mental well-being (MWB) may play an important role in physical activity (PA) behavior, but the independent associations of affective MWB indicators and depressive symptoms with PA are sparsely investigated...
2.
Effects of multicomponent exercise intervention on cardiometabolic risk factors in children and young adults with cerebral palsy: a multiple-baseline trial
Savikangas T, Valadao P, Haapala E, Finni T
BMC Sports Sci Med Rehabil . 2024 Oct; 16(1):219. PMID: 39434176
Background: Adults with cerebral palsy (CP) have a high risk of cardiometabolic diseases. It is unknown whether this risk is elevated in young people with CP and whether exercise can...
3.
Low physical activity is a risk factor for sarcopenia: a cross-sectional analysis of two exercise trials on community-dwelling older adults
Hamalainen O, Tirkkonen A, Savikangas T, Alen M, Sipila S, Hautala A
BMC Geriatr . 2024 Feb; 24(1):212. PMID: 38424514
Background: Physical inactivity is an important factor in the development of sarcopenia. This cross-sectional study explores the prevalence of sarcopenia and associations of physical activity (PA) with sarcopenia in two...
4.
The Impact of Multimorbidity Patterns on Changes in Physical Activity and Physical Capacity Among Older Adults Participating in a Year-Long Exercise Intervention
Savikangas T, Savolainen T, Tirkkonen A, Alen M, Hautala A, Laukkanen J, et al.
J Aging Phys Act . 2023 Dec; 32(2):213-224. PMID: 38048763
This study investigated the impact of multimorbidity patterns on physical activity and capacity outcomes over the course of a year-long exercise intervention, and on physical activity 1 year later. Participants...

Does Personality Moderate the Efficacy of Physical and Cognitive Training Interventions? A 12-month Randomized Controlled Trial in Older Adults
Kekalainen T, Terracciano A, Tirkkonen A, Savikangas T, Hanninen T, Neely A, et al.
Pers Individ Dif . 2023 Feb; 202. PMID: 36776733
This study investigated whether personality traits moderate the effects of a 12-month physical or combined physical and cognitive training interventions on physical and cognitive functioning. Participants were community-dwelling 70-85-year-old adults...
6.
Effects of Physical and Cognitive Training on Falls and Concern About Falling in Older Adults: Results From a Randomized Controlled Trial
Turunen K, Tirkkonen A, Savikangas T, Hanninen T, Alen M, Fielding R, et al.
J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci . 2021 Dec; 77(7):1430-1437. PMID: 34910809
Background: The aim of this study is to investigate whether combined cognitive and physical training provides additional benefits to fall prevention when compared with physical training (PT) alone in older...
7.
The effects of a physical and cognitive training intervention vs. physical training alone on older adults' physical activity: A randomized controlled trial with extended follow-up during COVID-19
Savikangas T, Tormakangas T, Tirkkonen A, Alen M, Fielding R, Kivipelto M, et al.
PLoS One . 2021 Oct; 16(10):e0258559. PMID: 34644357
Background: Executive functions underlie self-regulation and are thus important for physical activity and adaptation to new situations. The aim was to investigate, if yearlong physical and cognitive training (PTCT) had...

Effects of physical and cognitive training on gait speed and cognition in older adults: A randomized controlled trial
Sipila S, Tirkkonen A, Savikangas T, Hanninen T, Laukkanen P, Alen M, et al.
Scand J Med Sci Sports . 2021 Mar; 31(7):1518-1533. PMID: 33772877
Gait speed is a measure of health and functioning. Physical and cognitive determinants of gait are amenable to interventions, but best practices remain unclear. We investigated the effects of a...

Associations of physical activity intensities, impact intensities and osteogenic index with proximal femur bone traits among sedentary older adults
Savikangas T, Sipila S, Rantalainen T
Bone . 2020 Oct; 143:115704. PMID: 33099029
Background: Dynamic high-intensity physical activity is thought to be beneficial for older adults' bone health. Traditional volume-based processing of accelerometer-measured physical activity data, quantified on a minute-per-minute basis, may average...

Accelerometer-measured and self-reported physical activity in relation to extraversion and neuroticism: a cross-sectional analysis of two studies
Kekalainen T, Laakkonen E, Terracciano A, Savikangas T, Hyvarinen M, Tammelin T, et al.
BMC Geriatr . 2020 Jul; 20(1):264. PMID: 32727379
Background: Personality reflects relatively stable and pervasive tendencies in feeling, thinking and behaving. While previous studies have found higher extraversion and lower neuroticism to be linked to higher self-reported physical...
