J Strength Cond Res 24:120-7. 2010..The leftward shift in the B(La) vs. intensity curve during uphill skiing should be recognized to properly prescribe training intensity as well as interpret laboratory results...
Low strength is related to diminished ground reaction forces and walking performance in older womenDain P LaRoche
Department of Kinesiology, University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH, USA
Gait Posture 33:668-72. 2011..42-0.60, P<0.05). In older women with low strength, diminished peak vGRFs were associated with slower walking speeds putting them at risk for mobility limitation, disability, poor health, and loss of independence...
