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).
