Abstract

The use of fast-track regimes has led to a marked decline in complication rates post surgery. Nevertheless, older people have an increased risk of loss of muscle mass and strength and disability post surgery compared to younger adults. Consequently, attempts to counteract these problems seem highly relevant. The number of studies on the effect of perioperative training is still limited. However, there is increasing evidence that strength training commenced early post surgery is safe and effective in regard to restore muscle function in older patients going through acute or elective surgery.

2. [Physical inactivity--consequences and correlations].

Abstract

The Danish Fitness and Nutrition Council has examined the scientific literature to evaluate the effects of a physically inactive lifestyle on health in the adult population. Physical inactivity is defined as less than 2.5 hours of moderately intense activity per week. 30-40% of the adult Danish population is defined as physically inactive. A physically inactive lifestyle has a negative impact on metabolic and cardio-vascular functions and increases the risk of developing lifestyle diseases. Furthermore, physical inactivity increases the risk of disability among the elderly.

Abstract

Sarcopenia signifies the age-related loss of muscle mass and consequently muscle strength. Sarcopenia appears to be caused by both muscular and neural factors. Concurrently with the muscle atrophy, a non-linear loss of muscle strength is observed. The decline accelerates after the age of 60. The ability to produce muscular power is reduced even more than the muscle strength. Strength training increases muscle strength and muscular power in the elderly thus counteracting part of the age-related reduction. Improvements, however, depend on the initial strength in the elderly person. The benefit of strength training is greatest in frail elderly and the oldest old, although elderly in general could benefit from strength training. Considering the growing section of elderly in the population, the focus on sarcopenia and measures to counteract this seems more relevant than ever.
