The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of wearing functional clothing over calf muscles on the muscle function of the calf and to verify whether functional clothing can increase calf muscle function. The participants of the study were 21 male students from University B who had no lower extremity abnormality. The measurement method was measured at 30°/sec and 120°/sec angle speed before and after wearing functional clothing on the right and left calves using Humac Norm of CSMI, a constant speed muscle function measuring instrument. No significant difference was observed during dorsiflexion when wearing functional clothing, but in plantar flexion, muscle strength and muscle endurance were significantly increased. Therefore, wearing functional clothing over the calves showed a positive effect on improving exercise function, and future research suggests a study comparing the degree of muscle function improvement between those wearing functional clothing and those not wearing it for athletes training ahead of the competition.

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of extreme heat on muscle function and muscle injury marker in elderly women. The subjects of this study were eight post-menopausal elderly women without any metabolic disease. All eight subjects were asked to perform the knee joint isokinetic exercise using isokinetic equipment (cybex) in the laboratory and experimental temperature within laboratory was adjusted to two conditions: extreme heat temperature(33±0.5℃) and normal temperature(20±0.5℃) maintained in 50±3% humidity conditions. Each experimental exercise was monitored and analyzed the change of HSP70, LDH and CK. Muscular functions (peak torque, total work, percentage of peak torque body weight, fatigue index, average power and total work) were significant differences at exercise between temperatural conditions (p<.05). In extreme heat temperature, muscular injury markers (HSP70, LDH and CK) were increased, threfore resulted in significantly higher than normal temperature(p<.05). These results show that extreme heat temperature can decrease muscle function in elderly women.

This systematic review was performed to investigate relationship between sarcopenia and cognitive function among community-dwelling older adults. Studies which reported prevalence rates of sarcopenia in community-dwelling older adults, relationships between sarcopenia and cognitive dysfunction, or effective interventions in alleviated symptoms of sarcopenia were selected. Of 43 studies reviewed, prevalence rate of sarcopenia ranged from 2.5-42.4% in 25 studies, and 4 studies revealed a significantly positive correlation between sarcopenia and cognitive dysfunction. Among 12 randomized-control trials (RCTs), exercise intervention was used in 2 studies; nutrition intervention in 6; and 4 studies included both the exercise and nutrition interventions. All interventional studies reported positive effects on muscle mass, muscle strength, or physical function. However, only 6 studies met the high quality criteria of Risk of Bias, and there was no study which evaluated cognitive function as an outcome measure. Therefore, this study draws attention to the lack of high-quality RCTs and exclusion of cognitive function as an outcome measure in the research of sarcopenia. A comprehensive and sustained system including standardized sarcopenia screening, assessments of cognitive functioning, and evidence-based intervention programs is needed in order to prevent and manage sarcopenia amongst older adults in the community.

저작운동을 중추신경계와 말초조직의 작용에의해 일생동안 학습과 적응의 가정을 통해 이루어진다. 저작의 양상은 유치가 구강내에 맹출되면서 이루어지며, 상하악 치아의 접촉, 점막과 혀 및 치아상호간에 일어나는 접촉과 치근막의 고유수용기와 악관절 수용기등에 의해 조정되어 최종적으로 에너지소비가 적고 동통이나 불편함이 없이 최대의 효율을 나타내는 양상으로 된다. 그러나 원활한 저작과 하악은동을 이룩하기 위해서는 저작근, 악관절, 상하악 치아의 교합등이 서로 조화를 이루어야 한다. 만일 외상에 의해 악관절의 기능장애가 오면 저작근활동이 변화하고 이에따라 교합장애를 야기한다. 또한 치아를 상실하거나 대합치아간의 조기접촉이 있으면 교합장애가 원인이 되어 근육활동이 변화와 악관절 기능장애를 초래한다. 그리고 때로는 지나친 근육의 활동(이갈이, 지속적 긴장성 수축)에 의해 지나친 치아의 마모로인한 교합장애나 악관절장애를 일으킬 수 있다. 따라서 하악의 기능을 충분히 이해하기 위해서는 교합의 형태학적 관계와 더불어 저작계의 기능적인 면도 고려하여 그 상호관계를 검토하여야 하며 본문에서는 교합에 관련된 저작근의 작용과 이에 영향을 주는 요인 및 교합장애와 근육활동장애의 연관성에 관해 고찰코자 한다.
