+ Loss of fat was associated with faster walking speed, while loss of muscle was associated with
reduced knee strength.
But this doesn't explain
why knee strength predicted cognitive function while elbow and ankle strength didn't.
A little
more knee strength and body awareness can help carry your body down many more wonderful winding roads for many years to come.
Loss of fat was associated with faster walking speed, while loss of muscle was associated with
reduced knee strength.
In other words, those who achieved the biggest gains
in knee strength also saw the biggest gains in MMSE score.

A simpler possibility is that
knee strength is more important to mobility (e.g. getting in and out of chairs) than ankles or elbows.
The results were greater leg and
knee strength, increased calf size, better jumping ability, and faster running speed.
Before my walk I also prepared by taking private lessons with my Pilates teacher Sagrario to improve my gait, posture and
knee strength.
