The American Journal of MedicineEffects of immobilization upon various metabolic and physiologic functions of normal men
614 Citations1948John E. Deitrick, G. Donald Whedon +1 more
Experiments indicated that the legs were the principal site of changes responsible for this deterioration and suggested that increased venous engorgement, increased extravascular fluid, capillary fragility and impaired venous or muscle tone play a re exercise tolerance and leg girth required four to six weeks and the reclining pulse rate more than six weeks.
European Journal of Applied PhysiologyInfluence of aging on the mechanical behavior of leg extensor muscles
263 Citations1980Carmelo Bosco, Paavo V. Komi
It is suggested that it is not only the performance of pure concentric contraction that is influenced by the maturation and aging processes but, the that elastic behavior of muscle and reflex potentiation are also affected by the same processes.
Medicine & Science in Sports & ExerciseEffects of disuse on the structure and function of skeletal muscle
162 Citations1983Frank W. Booth, P. D. Gollnick
The purpose of this paper is to briefly review some of the effects of reduced muscle use on the structure and function of human and animal skeletal muscle.
GerontologyDifferent Effects of Ageing on the Mechanical Properties of Human Arm and Leg Muscles
115 Citations2009M. J. N. McDonagh, Michael White +1 more
With ageing both muscle groups showed a reduction in maximum voluntary force and in the force of electrically evoked tetani, with the reduction was greatest in the leg muscles.
Acta NeuropathologicaHistochemical and ultrastructural aspects of M. vastus lateralis in sedentary old people (age 65?89 years)
107 Citations1980R Scelsi, Carla Marchetti +1 more
With increasing age the histochemical reactions reveal changes in the fibre type distribution characterized by a decrease in the percentage and predominant atrophy of type II fibres, and the fibres become richer in intracellular lipid droplets and lysosomes.
Mechanisms of Ageing and DevelopmentAge changes in size and number of muscle fibers in human minor pectoral muscle
91 Citations1984Tsuneko Sato, Hiromichi Akatsuka +4 more
Micromeasuring studies have been made on the senile changes of the surgically resected minor pectoral muscles in 200 Japanese females and total volume of type I muscle fibers was not changed according to age, on the contrary, that of the type II fibers decreased significantly after 60 years of age.
GerontologyLength, Diameter and Number of Ageing Skeletal Muscle Fibres
81 Citations2009A. C. B. Hooper
The mean fibre lengths of the sternomastoid, biceps brachii and tibialis anterior muscles of ageing mice decreased with age as a result of significant reductions in the number of sarcomeres along the fibres.
Journal of Applied PhysiologyRecovery time course in contractile function of fast and slow skeletal muscle after hindlimb immobilization
76 Citations1982Frank A. Witzmann, D. H. Kim +1 more
The present results demonstrate that both fast and slow muscle have the ability to completely recover from 6 weeks of IM, and rates of tension development and decline remained essentially unaltered in the fast muscles after IM.
American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative PhysiologyRat muscle structure and metabolism in relation to age and food intake
36 Citations1982Roger McCarter, E. J. Masoro +1 more
Evidence is provided that life-prolonging food restriction modulates physiological changes associated with the aging process in adult male rats.
Experimental GerontologyAging of collagen: Comparative rates in four mammalian species
22 Citations1980Clive R. Hamlin, Jeanne H. Luschin +1 more
Resistance to collagenase digestion was used to compare rates of collagen aging in rat, dog, macaque, and man, demonstrating the problems caused by uncritically extrapolating an age-related observation from a short-lived species such as rat to a long-livedspecies such as human.
Archives of Gerontology and GeriatricsComparison of skeletal muscle motor unit discharge characteristics in young and aged humans
20 Citations1983Roger M. Nelson, Gary L. Soderberg +1 more
The 70- to 79-yr-old group tended to have a slow motor unit discharge rate, an increased variability of discharge (FSD) and a negative serial correlation coefficient (FRHO).
Mechanisms of Ageing and DevelopmentAge changes of myofibrils of human minor pectoral muscle
4 Citations1986Tsuneko Sato, Hiromichi Akatsuka +4 more
Micro- and ultramicromeasuring studies on the age changes of surgically resected minor pectoral muscles in 200 Japanese females suggest that with advancement of age, muscle fibers of type I decreased in number and increased in size, and the age-related increase in size is not considered to be due to an increase in number of myofibrils but seems to bedue to a increase in their volume.
