<i>In vivo</i> human muscle structure and function: adaptations to resistance training in old age

Abstract excerpt

This study investigated changes in elderly muscle joint angle-torque relation induced by resistance training. Older adults were assigned to either training (n = 9, age 74.3 +/- 3.5 years; mean +/-s.d.) or to control groups (n = 9, age 67.1 +/- 2 years). Leg-extension and leg-press exercises were performed three times per week for 14 weeks. Maximal isometric knee extension torque was measured across the knee joint...
