Frailty and sarcopenia both contribute to a functional decline among the elderly, and are reportedly reversible with physical exercise. Locomotive syndrome represents the decline in locomotor function as a result of impairments of the locomotor organs. A healthy locomotor organ is essential for locomotor function, as well as daily living and social activities. Hence, elucidating the mechanism underlying locomotive syndrome may help provide physical fitness professionals with insight into the locomotor function in the elderly. Importantly, locomotor organs primarily undergo degenerative changes after middle age. Moreover, overloading may be a risk factor for degenerated cartilages and intervertebral disks, whereas underloading may also predispose bones and muscles to certain risks.
衰弱和肌肉减少症都会导致老年人的功能衰退，据报道，体育锻炼可使其逆转。运动机能不全综合征表现为运动器官受损导致的运动功能下降。健康的运动器官对于运动功能以及日常生活和社交活动至关重要。因此，阐明运动机能不全综合征的潜在机制可能有助于为健身专业人员提供有关老年人运动功能的见解。重要的是，运动器官在中年以后主要会发生退行性变化。此外，负荷过重可能是软骨和椎间盘退变的危险因素，而负荷不足也可能使骨骼和肌肉面临某些风险。
