Neural activation during submaximal contractions seems more reflective of neuromuscular ageing than maximal voluntary activation

Neural activation during submaximal contractions seems more reflective of neuromuscular ageing than maximal voluntary activation

This study aimed at testing the hypothesis that differences in neural activation strategy during submaximal but not maximal plantarflexions exist between young and older men. Eleven young men (YM, 26±4 yr) and 13 OM (76±3 yr) volunteered for the investigation. Maximal voluntary torque (MVT) was 38.2...
