Differences between young and elderly in soleus motor unit discharge rate in dynamic movements

Differences between young and elderly in soleus motor unit discharge rate in dynamic movements

Aging is related to changes at the muscular level, leading to a decline in motor performance increasing the risk of falling and injury. It seems that the age-related changes in motor unit activation are muscle- and intensity dependent. The purpose of this study was to examine possible differences in...
