skeletal muscle mass loss, muscle atrophy
INFLAMMATION, MUSCLE ATROPHY
Reduced daily physical activity, which has been further pushed by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic period is observed both in young and older adults Physical exercise can convey a protective effect against aging-related inflammation, releasing proteins named myokines into the bloodstream during muscle contractionsMyostatin together with C-terminal agrin fragment (CAF) control skeletal muscle mass loss and have a particular meaning in counteracting the development of muscle atrophy and sarcopeniaOne of the most popular forms of physical activity among the elderly is Nordic Walking (NW), still there is need to search for the most effective training methods and potential mechanisms leading to healthy aging. Nowadays, more attention is paid to dance-based interventions, that comprised several different stimuli, what may lead to improvement in physical fitness, balance, muscle strength and extended neuroplasticity in healthy older adults
