Abstract:

BACKGROUND: In many parts of the body, muscle diastolic and contractive activities can promote the body's energy metabolism. Furthermore, the muscles also play an irreplaceable role in maintaining body posture and joint stability.
OBJECTIVE: To summarize the rules of muscle function and aging changes, to search for research related to the trainability of old muscle function, and to provide references for muscular anti-aging research in field of sports medicine.
METHODS: Taking senescence, aging, muscle function, exercise, training in English as the search terms, Pubmed database from January 2000 to May 2009 was retrieved; Taking aging, muscle function, training in Chinese as the search terms, CNKI database from January 2000 to May 2009 was searched. Literatures were limited to English and Chinese languages. Inclusive criteria: research closely related to the trainability of motor function and muscle metabolic function in the elderly; Exclusive criteria: obsolete and lack of credibility of the literature.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Totally 67 literatures were screened out by computer, according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, 31 documents of which were involved in the analysis. Based on the recent research on muscle function, the muscle function can be summarized into three aspects: motor function, metabolic function and maintenance function. The elderly muscle aging is mainly showed in these 3 aspects. How to reconstruct these functions through resistance training? The concerning data were summarized in this paper, to verify the trainability of ageing’s muscle motor and metabolism functions, but no study indicates that the maintenance function can be reconstructed, and deserves further studies of sports science.
