Mechanisms affecting post-activation potentiation following voluntary isokinetic knee extension
… why this occurs. Therefore, in Study 2 peak knee extensor torque at 60o·s-1, quadriceps and VL crosssectional area (CSA) and volume, and the type II myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoform percentage (VL) were measured to determine their relative contribution to PAP elicited under voluntary …

Investigating and Preventing the Loss of Muscle Strength and Physical Function in Frail Older Adults Who Experience an Unplanned Period of Hospitalisation
… of age, experience a reduction of around 10% in knee-extension strength. To corroborate these findings in an older general medical population, I conducted a cohort study, which included 70 participants aged ≥75 recruited within 24 hours of acute hospital admission. Knee-extension strength …
