Handgrip strength test is found to be associated inversely with mortality and cardiovascular events in men and women with diabetes and glucose dysregulation. Strength is more predictive of morality in men versus women, but this study finds predictive value for both.
Breast cancer survivors (BCS) exhibit decreased physical function and quality of life (QOL) following cancer treatments. Resistance training (RT) may elicit positive changes in physical and mental well-being. This study assessed 27 BCS, pre-and post-intervention (six months) on the following variables: muscular strength (via one repetition maximum (1RM) of chest press and leg extension), physical function (via the Continuous Scale-Physical Functional Performance test) and QOL (via the Short Form-36 survey). RT consisted of two days/week of ten exercises including two sets of 8-12 repetitions at 52%-69% of their 1RM. A repeated measures analysis of variance revealed BCS significantly (p < 0.05) increased upper (71 ± 22 to 89 ± 22 kg) and lower body (74 ± 18 to 93 ± 24 kg) strength, total physical function (65.5 ± 12.1 to 73.6 ± 12.2 units) and the subcomponents of physical function: upper body strength (63.5 ± 16.3 to 71.2 ± 16.8 units), lower body strength (58.5 ± 14.9 to 68.6 ± 16.3 units), balance and coordination (66.5 ± 12.2 to 74.6 ± 11.6 units), and endurance (67.2 ± 12.0 to 75.0 ± 11.6 units). No changes were observed over time for subjective measures of physical function and QOL. Results showed RT could be an effective means to improve objective physical function in BCS. Further research is needed to clarify the effects of RT on subjective physical function and QOL.
Tricycles make cycling accessible to all, whatever personal challenges. There are a wide range of disability cycles that suit people with a variety of learning and physical disabilities, as well as health issues. Tricycles have 3 wheels, which means that the rider does not need to be able to balance. This is particularly useful for people with learning disabilities, such as Dyspraxia, and those recovering from illnesses. Tricycles can be fitted with foot plates to make it easier for riders to rotate the pedals and they come in upright or recumbent (horizontal sitting position). For adults and children with balance issues, stabilisers can also be fitted to standard bikes, which makes them more like tricycles.
Tricycles come in a variety of accessible styles for people of all abilities including many persons with spinal cord injury disabilities. Tricycles is a great upper body workout and can provide a great sense of freedom for persons with disabilities. While the high cost prevents many from enjoying Tricycles they are steadily growing in popularity.

Hand powered cycles work along the same principle as standard cycles. The pedals are replaced with handles that also steer, and riders use their arms to push the handles around to drive the chain and wheels. Most hand cycles have 3 wheels, although some have 4 wheels. 4-wheel cycles may have power assistance instead of the rider turning handles,or they may be built for going down hill, in which case gravity powers the bike. As with tricycles, hand cycles can have upright seats or low down recumbent seats. Specialist 'clip on' cycles are also available that can be attached
Transport wheelchairs are machines or equipment that facilitate for mobility and movement of wheelchair confined people at public places. While it is true that simple wheelchairs can do the trick, travel Wheelchair are specifically designed and manufactured to facilitate better roaming and mobility at malls, restaurants and parks where people usually converge to relax. A seat belt and swing-away removable footrests are standard and make it easy to get in and out of this chair. A fold-down back allows for easier storage and transport and padded armrests add additional comfort. The materials with which travel Wheelchair are made are of more superior quality and strength. That is because Travel Wheelchair are made very specifically to facilitate movement at public and outdoor places. Also, travel Wheelchair are made of materials that are highly durable to enable it to carry out its purpose. Thus, it is often that users complain about the limited usefulness and comfort of using the wheelchairs.

Testosterone given to elderly men with low "serum" testosterone shown to increase IGF-1 and increased muscle growth and strength. So, this study shows that testosterone in men, seems to increase HGH production and thus increase IGF-1 production. This may be the mechanism by which testosterone promotes muscle growth and increase in strength in men.

the energy supplied to rephosphorylate
adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to adenosine triphosphate (ATP) during and following intense
exercise is largely dependent on the amount of phosphocreatine (PCr) stored in the
muscle
Creatine is chemically known as a non-protein nitrogen
It is synthesized in the liver and pancreas from the amino acids arginine, glycine,
and methionine
Approximately 95% of the body's creatine is stored in skeletal muscle
About two thirds of the creatine found in skeletal muscle is stored as phosphocreatine
(PCr) while the remaining amount of creatine is stored as free creatine
The body breaks down about 1 – 2% of the creatine pool per day (about 1–2 grams/day)
into creatinine in the skeletal muscle
The magnitude of the increase in skeletal muscle creatine content is important because
studies have reported performance changes to be correlated to this increase
"loading" protocol. This protocol is characterized by ingesting approximately
0.3 grams/kg/day of CM for 5 – 7 days (e.g., ≃5 grams taken four times per day) and
3–5 grams/day thereafter [18,22]. Research has shown a 10–40% increase in muscle creatine and PCr stores using this
protocol
Additional research has reported that the loading protocol may only need to be 2–3
days in length to be beneficial, particularly if the ingestion coincides with protein
and/or carbohydrate
A few studies have reported protocols with no loading
period to be sufficient for increasing muscle creatine (3 g/d for 28 days)
Cycling protocols involve the consumption of "loading" doses for 3–5 days every 3
to 4 weeks
Most of these forms of creatine have been reported to be no
better than traditional CM in terms of increasing strength or performance
Recent studies do suggest, however, that adding β-alanine to CM
may produce greater effects than CM alone
These investigations indicate that the
combination may have greater effects on strength, lean mass, and body fat percentage;
in addition to delaying neuromuscular fatigue
creatine
phosphate has been reported to be as effective as CM at improving LBM and strength
Green et al. [24] reported that adding 93 g of carbohydrate to 5 g of CM increased total muscle creatine
by 60%
Steenge et al. [23] reported that adding 47 g of carbohydrate and 50 g of protein to CM was as effective
at promoting muscle retention of creatine as adding 96 g of carbohydrate.
It appears that combining CM with carbohydrate or carbohydrate and protein produces
optimal results
Studies suggest that increasing skeletal muscle creatine uptake may
enhance the benefits of training
Nearly 70% of these studies have
reported a significant improvement in exercise capacity,
Long-term CM supplementation appears to enhance the overall quality of training,
leading to 5 to 15% greater gains in strength and performance
Nearly all studies indicate that "proper" CM supplementation increases body mass
by about 1 to 2 kg in the first week of loading
short-term adaptations reported from
CM supplementation include increased cycling power, total work performed on the bench
press and jump squat, as well as improved sport performance in sprinting, swimming,
and soccer
Long-term adaptations when combining CM supplementation with training include increased
muscle creatine and PCr content, lean body mass, strength, sprint performance, power,
rate of force development, and muscle diameter
subjects taking CM typically gain about twice as much body
mass and/or fat free mass (i.e., an extra 2 to 4 pounds of muscle mass during 4 to
12 weeks of training) than subjects taking a placebo
The gains in muscle mass appear to be a result of an improved ability to perform
high-intensity exercise via increased PCr availability and enhanced ATP synthesis,
thereby enabling an athlete to train harder
there is no evidence to support the notion
that normal creatine intakes (< 25 g/d) in healthy adults cause renal dysfunction
no long-term side effects have been observed in athletes (up to 5 years),
One cohort of patients taking 1.5 – 3 grams/day of CM has been monitored since 1981
with no significant side effects

Travel wheelchair assists people to become more mobile and independent. There are many different types of wheelchairs that are used for various reasons. It is important to understand the limitations and safe operation of whatever wheelchair choose or need. The travel chair seat size (width and depth), seat-to-floor height, footrests/leg rests, front caster outriggers, adjustable backrests, controls, and many other features can be customized on, or added to, many basic models, while some users, often those with specialized needs, may have wheelchairs custom-built. A single-arm drive enables the user to turn either left or right while the two-armed drive enables user to move forward or backward on a straight line. Another type of wheelchair commonly used is a lever-drive wheelchair. This type of chair enables the user to move forward by pumping the lever back and forth.
Travel Wheelchair is designed with unique S shaped seat which provides pressure relief and prevents slippage. Equipped with wide arm pads the wheelchair provides extra support for the user. The chair material is treated with an Aegis Microbe shield to reduce the likelihood of staining and odours. Streamline oval tubes add style and strength to the wheelchair whilst the aluminium frame keeps the chair light. Also featured are new patented footrests which swing both outwards and inward for user convenience.

You might think that muscular strength is simply how strong you are: How much weight you can carry, how many pounds you can lift at the gym, or how many push-ups you can do during a workout. But the true definition of muscular strength is a little more complicated.
