Effect of a high protein diet and/or resistance exercise on the preservation of fat free mass during weight loss in overweight and obese older adults: a randomized controlled trial

Verreijen, Amely M; Engberink, Mariëlle F; Memelink, Robert G (Lectoraat Voeding En Beweging); van der Plas, Suzanne E (Faculteit Bewegen, Sport En Voeding); Visser, Marjolein; Weijs, Peter J M (Lectoraat Voeding En Beweging)

BACKGROUND: Intentional weight loss in obese older adults is a risk factor for accelerated muscle mass loss. We investigated whether a high protein diet and/or resistance exercise preserves fat free mass (FFM) during weight loss in overweight and obese older adults. METHODS: We included 100 overweight …

Reproducible measurements of muscle characteristics using the MyotonPRO device

Van Deun, Bieke; Cagnie, Barbara; Van Eetvelde, Birgit; Van Den Noortgate, Nele; Cambier, Dirk; Hobbelen, Hans (Ageing And Allied Health Care)

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The MyotonPRO is a portable device that measures muscle tone and biomechanical muscle properties objectively. MyotonPRO has already proven to be effective in measuring muscle properties in healthy and diseased populations. However, to the best of our knowledge, it has never been …

Preoperative functional status is not associated with postoperative surgical complications in low risk patients undergoing esophagectomy

van Egmond, M.A.; van der Schaaf, M.; Klinkenbijl, J.H.G.; Engelbert, R.H.H. (Faculteit Gezondheid); van Berge Henegouwen, M.I.

Preoperative functional status is a risk factor for developing postoperative complications (POC) in major abdominal and thoracic surgery, but this has hardly been evaluated in esophageal cancer patients undergoing esophagectomy. The aim of this prospective cohort study was to determine if preoperative …

Surviving critical illness: what is next?

Major, M.E.; Kwakman, R. (Faculteit Gezondheid); Kho, M.E.; Connolly, B.; McWilliams, D.; Denehy, L.; Hanekom, S.; Patman, S.; Gosselink, R.; Jones, C.; Nollet, F.; Needham, D.M.; Engelbert, R.H.H. (Faculteit Gezondheid); van der Schaaf, M.

BACKGROUND: The study objective was to obtain consensus on physical therapy (PT) in the rehabilitation of critical illness survivors after hospital discharge. Research questions were: what are PT goals, what are recommended measurement tools, and what constitutes an optimal PT intervention for survivors …

de Morton Mobility Index Is feasible, reliable, and valid in patients with critical illness

Sommers, Juultje; Vredeveld, Tom; Lindeboom, Robert; Nollet, Frans; Engelbert, Raoul H.H. (Faculteit Gezondheid); Schaaf, Marike van der

BACKGROUND: Intensive care unit (ICU) stays often lead to reduced physical functioning. Change in physical functioning in patients in the ICU is inadequately assessed through available instruments. The de Morton Mobility Index (DEMMI), developed to assess mobility in elderly hospitalized patients, is …

Oxygenation threshold derived from near-infrared Spectroscopy

van der Zwaard, Stephan; Jaspers, Richard T.; Blokland, Ilse J.; Achterberg, Chantal; Visser, Jurrian M.; den Uil, Anne R.; Hofmijster, Mathijs J.; Levels, Koen; Noordhof, Dionne A.; de Haan, Arnold; de Koning, Jos J.; van der Laarse, Willem J.; de Ruiter, Cornelis J.

BACKGROUND: Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measurements of oxygenation reflect O2 delivery and utilization in exercising muscle and may improve detection of a critical exercise threshold. PURPOSE: First, to detect an oxygenation breakpoint (Δ[O2HbMb-HHbMb]-BP) and compare this breakpoint to ventilatory …

The association between muscle strength and activity limitations in patients with the hypermobility type of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome: the impact of proprioception

Scheper, Mark; Rombaut, Lies; de Vries, Janneke; De Wandele, Inge; van der Esch, Martin (Faculteit Gezondheid); Visser, Bart (Faculteit Gezondheid); Malfait, Franciska; Calders, Patrick; Engelbert, Raoul (Faculteit Gezondheid)

PURPOSE: The patients diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Hypermobility Type (EDS-HT) are characterized by pain, proprioceptive inacuity, muscle weakness, potentially leading to activity limitations. In EDS-HT, a direct relationship between muscle strength, proprioception and activity limitations has …

Exploration of the protein requirement during weight loss in obese older adults

Weijs, Peter J.M. (Lectoraat Voeding En Beweging); Wolfe, Robert R.

RATIONALE: Currently there is no consensus on protein requirements for obese older adults during weight loss. Here we explore the potential use of a new method for assessment of protein requirements based on changes in appendicular muscle mass during weight loss. METHODS: 60 obese older adults were subjected …

Short-term muscle disuse lowers myofibrillar protein synthesis rates and induces anabolic resistance to protein ingestion.

B.T. Wall; M.L. Dirks; T. Snijders; Jan-Willem van Dijk; M. Fritsch; L.B. Verdijk; Luc van Loon

Disuse leads to rapid loss of skeletal muscle mass and function. It has been hypothesized that short successive periods of muscle disuse throughout the lifespan play an important role in the development of sarcopenia. The physiological mechanisms underlying short-term muscle disuse atrophy remain to …
