Brief Summary

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

Conditions

Geriatric Individuals

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Ultrasonography Evaluation

  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

  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:

  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.

  Baseline
