Core Tip |
Children and elderly display a lower absolute muscle strength capacity than young adults. This may be due to a higher quadriceps activation failure as well as a more compliant quadriceps muscle-tendon in children (probably due to maturation) and elderly (due to age effects on neuromuscular system) than adults which, in turn, leads to an altered strength capacity. In contrast, age differences in muscle co-activation are not age dependent. Current evidence precludes any conclusions on whether muscle strength balance ratios are age specific.
