Passive repetitive stretching is associated with greater muscle mass and cross-sectional area in the sarcopenic muscle
Abstract Mechanical stimulation has benefits for muscle mass and function. Passive stretching is widely performed in clinical rehabilitation medicine. However, the hypertrophic effects of passive repetitive stretching on senescent skeletal muscles against muscle atrophy remain unknown. We used senes...
