Aging interferes central control mechanism for eccentric muscle contraction

Aging interferes central control mechanism for eccentric muscle contraction

Previous studies report greater activation in the cortical motor network in controlling eccentric contraction (EC) than concentric contraction (CC) despite lower muscle activation level associated with EC vs. CC in healthy, young individuals. It is unknown, however, whether elderly people exhibiting...
