SIR—Several factors are involved in the maintenance of activities of daily living (ADL) in older adults. Skeletal muscle mass and strength are important factors for maintaining independence and quality of life in elderly. Several recent cross-sectional studies have shown the associations of muscle strength with physical fitness and disability [1, 2]. Loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia) is prevalent in older adults [3] and represents an impaired state of health with mobility disorders, increased risk of falls and fractures, impaired ability to perform ADL, disabilities and loss of independence [4–6].Fear of falling is common in older adults. The prevalence varies from 21 to 85%, is higher in women than in men, and increases with age [7]. The risk factors of fear of falling are shown to be physical frailty [8], perception of poor health [9], obesity, cognitive impairment, depression, poor balance [10] and history of at least one fall [7]. Resistance training is an effective intervention to improve the physical function in older adults by increasing strength and physical performance [11]. However, it is still controversial whether resistance training is effective for all levels of elderly people. For example, we reported that decreased muscle power is a reliable predictor of falls only in frail elderly [12].
