Twitch potentiation during fatiguing exercise in the elderly: the effects of training
Abstract
Twitch potentiation was studied during a fatigue paradigm involving intermittent maximum voluntary contractions (MVCs) of the tibialis anterior muscle in the elderly and in young adults. Resting twitch torques were similar between groups, but twitch potentiation was significantly greater (241% vs 166%) in the young; the recovery of the twitch after fatigue was similar between groups. Contraction time, time to peak torque and half-relaxation …
