Abstract

Muscle power is a better indicator of musculoskeletal health and functional capacity than muscle strength. The Load-Velocity (L-V) relationship provides a method for assessing muscle function during dynamic multi-joint movements, making it valuable for identifying age-related neuromuscular decline. This study aimed to examine the relationship between variables derived from the L-V relationship (L

Research summary

The study examines the relationship between muscle function and aging through the Load-Velocity relationship. This research is relevant as it addresses the decline in muscle function, which is a significant aspect of aging and impacts overall longevity and healthspan.
