A limited number of studies have investigated the effect of old age on neuromuscular fatigue,
yet a variety of protocols have been used to compare the fatigability of old and young …

The 60‐min recovery profiles of voluntary and electrically stimulated force, contractile speed,
surface electromyography, muscle activation via twitch interpolation, and muscle compound …

Muscle atrophy, weakness, injury, and fatigue are inevitable and immutable concomitants of
old age. Atrophy results from a gradual process of fiber denervation with loss of some fibers …

The results of recent studies indicate that in healthy men and women aged beyond
approximately 65 years, the energy-producing pathways in skeletal muscle may combine …

Objective: The goal of this study was to compare the relative contributions from the muscle
and the central nervous system to muscle fatigue resistance in aging. Methods: Each subject …

This review focuses on the functional relationship between age‐related morphological and
physiological changes at the level of the motor unit (MU). It is well established that older …

It is generally accepted that the muscles of aged individuals contract with less force, have
slower relaxation rates, and demonstrate a downward shift in their force-velocity …

Loss of cells from the motor system occurs during the normal aging process, leading to
reduction in the complement of motor neurons and muscle fibers. The latter age‐related …

OBJECTIVES: This review aims to define the concept of neuromuscular fatigue and to
present the current knowledge of the central and peripheral factors at the origin of this …

The contribution of central fatigue during and after low‐and high‐force isometric contractions
sustained until failure with age is not established. We compared the time to failure and …
