The mobility limitation in healthy older people is due to weakness and not slower muscle contractile properties.
The maximal power generating capacity of a muscle declines with age and has a negative impact on the performance of daily life activities. As muscle power is the product of force and velocity, we recruited 20 young (10 men, 10 women: 20-31 years) and 20 older (10 men, 10 women: 65-86 years) people t...
