An observational study in Sarcopenia, sponsored by Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven. Completed at 1 site in Belgium. Open to participants aged 20 Years to 80 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-05-19.
Sponsored by Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven · Observational
The purpose of this project is to investigate the age-related differences in force-velocity muscle characteristics during isolated knee extensions variable in speed and load, during cyclic movements on a usual and recumbent bike variable in speed and velocity development and a functional test battery with healthy participants aged between 20-80 years.
1,208 studies on the registry are indexed under Sarcopenia; 402 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 98 is below the median of 120 across 419 observational studies indexed under Sarcopenia.
