Ageing is associated with a higher fatigue resistance during submaximal or maximal
fatiguing contractions. The present study aimed to investigate the contribution of the central …

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 …

Older adults are more fatigable than young during dynamic tasks, especially those that
involve moderate to fast unconstrained velocity shortening contractions. Rate of torque …

Purpose Greater resistance to muscle fatigue has been observed in women versus men and
in older versus young individuals. As suggested mechanisms for these differences include …

The purposes of this study were to compare the ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) of young
[25 (1) years] and old men [84 (1) years] during intermittent (3 s on, 2 s off) voluntary …

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

The 24 h recovery pattern of contractile properties of the triceps surae muscle, following a
period of muscle fatigue, was compared in physically active young (25 years, n= 10) and …

It has been suggested that the effects of old age on the ability to resist fatigue may be task
dependent. To test one aspect of this hypothesis, we compared the neuromuscular …

Previous studies have reported a decrease in muscle torque per cross-sectional area in old
age. This investigation aimed at determining the influence of agonists muscle activation and …

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 …
