Triceps surae muscle power, volume, and quality in older versus younger healthy menJeanette M Thom
Institute for Biophysical and Clinical Research into Human Movement IRM, Manchester Metropolitan University, Cheshire, Alsager Campus, Hassall Road, Alsager, Cheshire, ST7 2HL, United Kingdom
J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci 60:1111-7. 2005..Hence, the present results showed that only approximately half of the loss in triceps surae peak power in old age is due to decreases in muscle VOL...- Gastrocnemius specific force is increased in elderly males following a 12-month physical training programmeChristopher I Morse
Institute for Biophysical and Clinical Research into Human Movement IRM, Manchester Metropolitan University, Hassall Road, Alsager Campus, Cheshire, Alsager, ST7 2HL, UK
Eur J Appl Physiol 100:563-70. 2007..In conclusion, with the level of agonist and antagonist muscle activity accounted for a 12-month strength training programme resulted in an increase in both PCSA and specific force in elderly males... - Gastrocnemius muscle specific force in boys and menChristopher I Morse
Institute for Biophysical Research into Human Movement and Health, Manchester Metropolitan Univ, Alsager Campus, Hassall Rd, Alsager, Cheshire ST7 2HL, UK
J Appl Physiol 104:469-74. 2008..These observations warrant further investigation... - Tendon elongation influences the amplitude of interpolated doublets in the assessment of activation in elderly menChristopher I Morse
Institute for Biophysical and Clinical Research into Human Movement, Manchester Metropolitan University, Alsager Campus, Hassall Road, Alsager, Cheshire ST7 2HL, UK
J Appl Physiol 98:221-6. 2005..However, a greater TE in EM was found to significantly increase electromechanical delay, which is expected to influence the time needed for postural readjustments... - In vivo physiological cross-sectional area and specific force are reduced in the gastrocnemius of elderly menChristopher I Morse
Institute for Biophysical and Clinical Research into Human Movement, Manchester Metropolitan Univ, Alsager Campus, Hassall Road, Alsager, Cheshire ST7 2HL, UK
J Appl Physiol 99:1050-5. 2005..This phenomenon may possibly be due to a reduction in single-fiber specific tension... - Changes in antagonist muscles' coactivation in response to strength training in older womenMaarten D de Boer
Institute for Biophysical and Clinical Research into Human Movement, Manchester Metropolitan University, Alsager, ST7 2HL, United Kingdom
J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci 62:1022-7. 2007..Twelve participants were assigned to a training (74.2 +/- 3.1 years) group and eight to a nontraining group (73.6 +/- 4.3 years)... - Influence of muscle architecture on the torque and power-velocity characteristics of young and elderly menJeanette M Thom
Institute for Biophysical and Clinical Research into Human Movement IRM, Manchester Metropolitan University, Alsager Campus, Hassall Road, Alsager, Cheshire, ST7 2HL, UK
Eur J Appl Physiol 100:613-9. 2007..It is noteworthy that the deficit in PP between OM and YM is far greater than that of muscle torque, even after normalisation of PP to muscle volume. This finding likely plays an important role in the loss of mobility in old age... - Scaling of maximal oxygen uptake by lower leg muscle volume in boys and menKeith Tolfrey
Manchester Metropolitan University, Department of Exercise and Sport Science, IRM, MMU Cheshire, Alsager, Cheshire, ST7 2HL, UK
J Appl Physiol 100:1851-6. 2006..We conclude that Vol, as an indicator of the involved muscle mass, is the most valid allometric denominator for the scaling of VO2 max in a sample of boys and men heterogeneous for body size and composition... - Effect of a 12-month physical conditioning programme on the metabolic cost of walking in healthy older adultsOmar S Mian
Institute for Biophysical and Clinical Research into Human Movement, Manchester Metropolitan University, ST7 2HL, Alsager, Cheshire, UK
Eur J Appl Physiol 100:499-505. 2007..In conclusion, this investigation has shown that a multi-component physical conditioning programme had a beneficial impact on functional capacity but did not lower C(W) in healthy community dwelling older adults... - Kinematics of stair descent in young and older adults and the impact of exercise trainingOmar S Mian
Institute for Biophysical and Clinical Research into Human Movement, Manchester Metropolitan University, Hassall Road, Alsager, Cheshire ST7 2HL, United Kingdom
Gait Posture 25:9-17. 2007..We found no evidence that these differences are reduced by generic exercise training, at least in non-frail older adults... - Muscle strength, volume and activation following 12-month resistance training in 70-year-old malesChristopher I Morse
Institute for Biophysical and Clinical Research into Human Movement IRM, Manchester Metropolitan University, Alsager, Cheshire, UK
Eur J Appl Physiol 95:197-204. 2005..This study has shown that the gain in muscle strength in response to long-term (12-month) training in older men is mostly accounted for by an increased muscle volume and activation... - Reduced plantarflexor specific torque in the elderly is associated with a lower activation capacityChristopher I Morse
Centre for Biophysical and Clinical Research into Human Movement CRM, Manchester Metropolitan University, Hassall Road, Alsager, Cheshire, ST7 2HL, UK
Eur J Appl Physiol 92:219-26. 2004..The hypothesis is put forward that reduced physical activity is partialy responsible for the reduced activation capacity in the elderly... - Effects of sprint training on extrarenal potassium regulation with intense exercise in Type 1 diabetesAlison R Harmer
School of Exercise and Sport Science, The University of Sydney, PO Box 170, Lidcombe, NSW, Australia 1825
J Appl Physiol 100:26-34. 2006.... - High-intensity training improves plasma glucose and acid-base regulation during intermittent maximal exercise in type 1 diabetesAlison R Harmer
Department of Exercise and Sports Science, University of Sydney, Lidcombe, New South Wales, Australia
Diabetes Care 30:1269-71. 2007
