Investigation of the Effects of Sarcopenia and Dynapenia on Inspiratory Muscle Strength and Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Geriatric Individuals

The aim of our study is to examine the effects of sarcopenia and dynapenia on inspiratory muscle strength and cardiorespiratory fitness in geriatric individuals.

Detailed Description

Within the scope of the study, anterior thigh thicknesses of geriatric individuals will be evaluated by ultrasonography and individuals will be divided into 3 groups as dynapenic, sarcopenic and normal according to the ISarcoPRM algorithm, using the STAR method and Hand-grip. The Powerbreathe K5 device will be used to evaluate the inspiratory muscle strength of geriatric individuals in both groups, and the 2-minute step test will be used to evaluate cardiorespiratory fitness. The study will be carried out with 100 geriatric individuals. As a result of the study, first the inspiratory muscle strength and cardiorespiratory fitness of sarcopenic, dynapenic and non-sarcopenic groups will be compared. Afterwards, the relationship between anterior thigh thickness and inspiratory muscle strength of all geriatric individuals participating in the study will be examined.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Ultrasonography Evaluation
Time Frame: Baseline
Anterior thigh muscle thickness will be measured to evaluate sarcopenia. The obtained value will be divided by the Body Mass Index. This evaluation method is referred to in the literature as the Sonographic T-high Adjustment Rate (STAR) method. Ultrasonographic measurements will be made by a physician with at least 10 years of experience in this field using linear probes.
Baseline
Evaluation of Inspiratory Muscle Strength
Time Frame: Baseline
Powerbreathe K5 device was used to evaluate inspiratory muscle strength. This device is a portable, easy-to-use, accessible and reliable device used for both education and treatment purposes and evaluation purposes.
Baseline
2 Minute Step Test:
Time Frame: Baseline
The purpose of this test is to elevate the knees to the midpoint between the patella and the anterior-superior iliac crest. The 2 Minute Step Test is valid and reliable for assessing cardiorespiratory fitness in older adults.
