Muscle endurance is greater for old men compared with strength-matched young men.
The purpose was to compare the time to task failure for a sustained isometric contraction performed at a submaximal intensity with the elbow flexor muscles by young and old men who were matched for strength. Eight young men (18-31 yr) and eight old men (67-76 yr) sustained an isometric contraction at 20% of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) torque until the target torque could no longer be ac...
متن کاملPower loss is greater in old men than young men during fast plantar flexion contractions.
It is unclear during human aging whether healthy older adults (>70 yr old) experience greater, lesser, or the same fatigability compared with younger adults. The reported disparate findings may be related to the task-dependent nature of fatigue and the limited number of studies exploring nonisometric contractile function and aging. The purpose here was to determine the effects of fast shortenin...
متن کاملEffects of combined endurance and strength training on muscle strength, power and hypertrophy in 40-67-year-old men.
Both strength and endurance training have several positive effects on aging muscle and physical performance of middle-aged and older adults, but their combination may compromise optimal adaptation. This study examined the possible interference of combined strength and endurance training on neuromuscular performance and skeletal muscle hypertrophy in previously untrained 40-67-year-old men. Maxi...
متن کاملGreater oxidative stress in healthy young men compared with premenopausal women.
Coronary risk factors, including age, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, and smoking, are associated with enhanced oxidative stress, which is implicated as a potential mechanism for atherogenesis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Male sex is one of the well-known cardiovascular risk factors. We tested the hypothesis that oxidative stress is greater in men than in women....
متن کاملCan supraspinal/central fatigue explain the lesser muscle endurance of men compared with women?
Can supraspinal/central fatigue explain the lesser muscle endurance of men compared with women? Several studies have shown that women can present with greater muscle endurance (less fatigability) compared with men (3, 5, 10, 12), although this is not always the case (4, 8). Most of these studies have focused on peripheral physiological mechanisms, mostly those within the muscle, to explain this...
