Evaluating and Enhancing Muscular Fitness via the Biodex
Abstract
We will provide a concise description of our current and planned research that involves observational studies of musculoskeletal conditions as well as clinical trials with exercise interventions. EPARC~s research and educational mission focuses specifically on muscular fitness with the objective of reducing falls and fractures, preventing age-associated sarcopenia, and/or reducing glucose intolerance/improving insulin sensitivity. We plan to install a Biodex System at UCSD~s EPARC facility would: 1)enhance current and future musculoskeletal research opportunities; 2) round out the educational component of training for students ranging from the undergraduate to post-graduate levels; and 3) could serve as a clinical testing center for veterans.
