Background Muscle fatigue reduces muscle strength and balance control in young people. It
is not clear whether fatigue resistance seen in older persons leads to different effects. In …

The ageing neuromuscular system is affected by structural and functional changes that lead
to a general slowing down of neuromuscular performance and an increased risk of falling …

BACKGROUND: A cross-sectional retrospective study of parameters reflecting balance
function in elderly fallers and non-fallers was conducted to better understand postural …

Upper extremity motor performance declines with increasing age. However, older adults
need to maintain, learn new and relearn known motor tasks. Research with young adults …

Purpose. One aim of this study was to find if there was a difference between balance and
stability between elite level gymnasts and non-gymnasts. Another aim was to find if there …

In this study, we investigated the effect of eccentric exercise on position sense and reaction
angle of the elbow and knee flexors. Twelve males underwent two eccentric exercise …

The reduction in the quality and integration of sensory information with aging could increase
the alterations in postural control associated with muscle fatigue observed in younger adults …

Normal aging results in alterations in the visual, vestibular and somtaosensory systems,
which in turn modify the control of balance. Muscle fatigue may exacerbate these age …

Low muscle power, particularly at high velocities, has been linked to poor physical function
in older adults. Any loss in muscle power following fatiguing exercise or daily activities could …

Background Resistance exercise is recommended for maintaining muscle mass and
strength in older adults. However, little is known about exercise-induced muscle damage …
