• Exercise and Physical Activity for Older Adults (2020, positive): “Studies suggest that power-producing capabilities are more strongly associated with functional performance than muscle strength in older adults (11,57,60,71,227).”
• Role of the nervous system in sarcopenia and muscle atrophy with aging: strength training as a countermeasure (2010, background): “…to a loss in function (Janssen et al., 2002; Buchman et al., 2007) during typical activities of daily living such as rising from a chair, stair walking, and in postural balance control (Tinetti et al., 1988; Bassey et al., 1992; Skelton et al., 1994; Izquierdo et al., 1999; Foldvari et al., 2000).”
• Sarcopenia: current concepts. (2000, background): “Recent studies also suggest that an important effect of sarcopenia is the loss of power (work performed per unit of time) as well as strength (44,45).”
• Sarcopenia: European consensus on definition and diagnosis (2010, background): “Both are important, but power is a better predictor of certain functional activities [43–45].”
• Skeletal Muscle Power: A Critical Determinant of Physical Functioning In Older Adults (2012, positive): “(19) further explored the relationships between muscle power, muscle strength and other physiologic factors relevant to functional independence among 80 elderly community-dwelling women with self-reported disability.”
