Exploring the impact of vitamin D-related genetic variants on muscular fitness changes in middle-aged and older adults in Kosovo
Introduction Age-related decline in muscle strength and performance significantly impact morbidity and mortality. Various factors including genetics have been investigated to better understand this decline. This study aimed to investigate longitudinal changes in physical performance and strength and their association with genetic variants in genes involved in the vitamin D pathway. Methods This longitudinal study was conducted in the Prishtina re…
ACTN3 Genotypes and Their Relationship with Muscle Mass and Function of Kosovan Adults
Maintaining muscle mass and function is important throughout the lifestyle. While environmental factors such as physical activity and healthy nutrition are well investigated, the contribution of genetic factors is still controversial. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the impact of a common ACTN3 polymorphism (rs1815739) on body composition, handgrip strength, knee extensor peak torque, and physical performance (gait speed, 30-s arm curl, 30-s c…
Long-term follow-up on biological risk factors, adiposity, and cardiorespiratory fitness development in a physical education intervention
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03510494
Physical fitness and anthropometric characteristics among adolescents living in urban or rural areas of Kosovo
It could be shown that there is a high prevalence of overweight and obesity, especially in 14 to 15 year old boys in Kosovo which does not differ between rural and urban areas. Worse physical performance is associated with a higher risk for overweight and obesity highlighting the importance for interventions in this area and for starting longitudinal observations of a secular trend
