Haapala E, Grasten A, Huhtiniemi M, Ortega F, Rantalainen T, Jaakkola T
J Sci Med Sport . 2024 Feb; 27(5):319-325. PMID: 38403504
Objectives: We explored the latent profiles based on locomotor skills and cardiorespiratory fitness in Finnish schoolchildren and examined their associations with latent growth curves of osteogenic physical activity (PA) over...

Mattila O, Rantanen T, Rantakokko M, Karavirta L, Cronin N, Rantalainen T
Exp Gerontol . 2024 Feb; 188:112381. 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...

Palmberg L, Lopponen A, Hyvarinen M, Portegijs E, Rantanen T, Rantalainen T, et al.
J Aging Phys Act . 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...

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...

Kekalainen T, Luchetti M, Terracciano A, Gamaldo A, Mogle J, Lovett H, et al.
Int J Behav Nutr Phys Act . 2023 Nov; 20(1):137. PMID: 37993862
Background: The beneficial effect of acute physical exercise on cognitive performance has been studied in laboratory settings and in long-term longitudinal studies. Less is known about these associations in everyday...

Koivunen K, Lopponen A, Palmberg L, Rantalainen T, Rantanen T, Karavirta L
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...

Lopponen A, Delecluse C, Suorsa K, Karavirta L, Leskinen T, Meulemans L, et al.
Med Sci Sports Exerc . 2023 Apr; 55(9):1525-1532. PMID: 37005494
Purpose: Five times sit-to-stand (STS) test is commonly used as a clinical assessment of lower-extremity functional ability, but its association with free-living performance has not been studied. Therefore, we investigated...
