Muscle power declines earlier and more precipitously with advancing age compared with
muscle strength. Peak muscle power also has emerged as an important predictor of …

The longitudinal changes in isokinetic strength of knee and elbow extensors and flexors,
muscle mass, physical activity, and health were examined in 120 subjects initially 46 to 78 …

Background: the relationship between muscle mass and physical performance has not been
consistent among studies. Objective: to clarify the relationship between muscle mass and …

Purpose This longitudinal study examined the major physiological mechanisms that
determine the age-related loss of lower extremity muscle power in two distinct groups of …

The deterioration of skeletal muscle with advancing age has long been anecdotally
recognized and has been of scientific interest for more than 150 years. Over the past several …

Background. Lower limb muscle power impairments are modifiable factors underlying
mobility limitations in older adults. This study examined relationships between upper and …

Background. Weakness contributes to the decline of physical function that occurs with aging.
Contradictory findings have been reported as to whether neuromuscular activation is …

This study investigated the physiological and gender determinants of the age-related loss of
muscle power in 31 healthy middle-aged adults (aged 40–55 years), 28 healthy older adults …

Background. The loss of muscle mass is considered to be a major determinant of strength
loss in aging. However, large-scale longitudinal studies examining the association between …

Abstract Background Maximum muscle power (Pmax) is a biomarker of physical
performance in all ages. No longitudinal studies have assessed the effects of aging on Pmax …
