Aging, visual intermittency, and variability in isometric force output.
We tested the hypothesis that increases in minimal visual motor processing (VMP) time in older adults contribute to age-related increases in force variability. We manipulated the intermittency rate of visual information feedback over a 100-fold range as young (20-29 years old) and old (60-79 years old) participants produced isometric force output to a visually presented target. The force output...
متن کاملCardioballistic impulse and fluctuations in isometric force output.
The purpose of the current investigation was to examine the relation between cardioballistic impulse and the fluctuations in continuous isometric force production. Subjects produced isometric force via index finger flexion to constant force targets (0.5, 1 and 2 N) with and without visual feedback while beat to beat blood pressure of their middle finger was recorded. Force fluctuations were qua...
متن کاملAging and the time and frequency structure of force output variability.
The present study examined the time and frequency structure of force output in adult humans to determine whether the changes in complexity with age are dependent on external task demands. Healthy young (20-24 yr), old (60-69 yr), and older-old (75-90 yr) humans produced isometric force contractions to constant and sine wave targets that also varied in force level. First, force variability on ea...
متن کاملIntermittency, aging and extremal fluctuations
– Aging in spin glasses is analyzed via the Probability Density Function (PDF) of the heat transfer over a short time δt between system and heat bath. The PDF contains a Gaussian part, describing reversible fluctuations, and an exponential ’intermittent’ tail. We find that the relative weight of these two parts depends, for fixed δt on the ratio of the total sampling time t to the age tw. Fixin...
متن کاملIsometric squat force output and muscle activity in stable and unstable conditions.
The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of stable vs. unstable conditions on force output and muscle activity during an isometric squat. Nine men involved in recreational resistance training participated in the investigation by completing a single testing session. Within this session subjects performed isometric squats either while standing directly on the force plate (stable conditi...
