How muscle ageing affects rapid goal-directed movement: mechanistic insights from a simple model

2025-07-07

Abstract excerpt

1 As humans and other animals age, passive and active muscle properties change markedly, with reduced peak tension, peak strain rate, activation and deactivation rate, and increased parallel stiffness. It is thought that these alterations modify locomotor performance, but establishing causal links is difficult when many parameters vary at once. We developed a simplified model of a single joint with two antagonisti...
