摘要: Muscle strength, activation, and size were studied in 11 very elderly subjects (8 women 3 men; age range, 85–97 years) who completed 12 weeks of strength training the knee extensor muscles. Training increased maximum amount weight that could be lifted once (134%; P < 0.05) voluntary isometric measured as both force recorded at ankle with flexed 90° (17%, ns) torque 60° (37%; 0.05). Anatomical lean quadriceps cross-sectional area (LCSA) midthigh using magnetic resonance imaging from 27.5 ± 9.6 cm2 to 30.2 10.0 (9.8%; after training. Both before training, was closely related LCSA, but resulted no significant change muscle per unit muscle. Using twitch interpolation technique, activation during a maximal contraction shown incomplete all (ranging 69% 93%) not significantly An increase skeletal mass may have important functional metabolic benefits for people. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
