摘要: Purpose: Functional differences between the sexes are well documented. The causes of functional decline complex, but in general, women report more and have a greater prevalence disabling chronic conditions than do men. role exercise training attenuating has not been studied extensively. Therefore, purpose this study was to compare sex adaptations measures physical function (physical performance self-report) symptom reporting. Methods: Men (n = 114, ages 65-90) performed purely aerobic exercises (walking or stationary cycling) combination plus spinal flexibility for 1 hour 3 days week months supervised, hospital-based setting. Outcome assessed blinded fashion at baseline included (10-meter walk time, timed bed mobility, 360-degree turn time), self-reported disability (Nagi Ro...
