Age and gender differences in hip extension and flexion torque steadiness.
BACKGROUND Lower extremity torque steadiness has been shown to be an independent predictor of functional performance in older women. Hip muscle function is crucial for many types of activities of daily living, yet existing studies investigating torque steadiness for lower extremities are limited to assessing steadiness at the knee and ankle. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare ...
متن کاملAge-related changes and gender differences in time estimation.
A study was carried out in which age and gender differences were studied in the performance of an empty interval production task. The duration of these intervals was 10 s, 1 and 5 min. The sample was made up of 140 subjects, half male and half female, in seven different age groups from 8 to 70 years old. The age range permitted us to identify when differences begin to be significant. The result...
متن کاملAge- and gender-related changes in ligament components.
The age- and gender-related changes in extracellular matrix components (elastin, elastin cross-links, fibrillin, collagen and glycoprotein) and mineral components (calcium, Ca; phosphorus, P) in human lumbar yellow ligaments were investigated using samples obtained from surgical specimens. The mineral (Ca and P) contents increased with ageing (r = 0.703 and r = 0.772, respectively), whereas the...
متن کاملFrequency-dependent changes in neuromuscular responses to cyclic lumbar flexion.
Repetitive lifting in the workplace has been identified to be a cause of low back disorders. Epidemiologic data further supports an hypothesis that higher repetition rate (i.e. frequency) is an added risk factor. The objective of this study was to provide experimental data testing the above hypothesis. An in vivo feline model was subjected to 20-min of cyclic lumbar loading at frequencies of 0....
متن کاملAge‐related neuromuscular changes affecting human vastus lateralis
KEY POINTS Skeletal muscle size and strength decline in older age. The vastus lateralis, a large thigh muscle, undergoes extensive neuromuscular remodelling in healthy ageing, as characterized by a loss of motor neurons, enlargement of surviving motor units and instability of neuromuscular junction transmission. The loss of motor axons and changes to motor unit potential transmission precede a ...
