Factors affecting maximal motor unit discharge rates in young and older individuals

Purpose. The aim of this investigation was: (i) to examine age-related differences in maximal motor unit firing rates, cortical excitability and inhibition, spinal excitability and inhibition, and motoneuron afterhyperpolarization (AHP) duration, in the tibialis anterior; (ii) to examine which of th...
