Gender Differences in Isometric Contractile Properties and Fatigability in Elderly Human Muscle
Abstract
This study had two purposes: to compare the isometric contractile characteristics and fatigability in the elbow flexors (EF) and ankle dorsiflexors (DF) in older males and females (60-80 years), and to determine the effects of almost 2 years of twice weekly dynamic weight-lifting training on these properties One hundred nine male and female subjects completed the 22-month intervention, 54 in the exercise group and 55 in the control group. …
