Abstract:Residual force enhancement (rFE) and residual force depression (rFD) are history-dependent properties of muscle which refer to increased and decreased isometric force following a lengthening or shortening contraction, respectively. The history-dependence of force is greater in older than younger adults when assessed at the joint level. However, it is unclear whether this amplification of the history-dependence of force in old age is owing to cellular mechanisms or a consequence of age-related remodeling of mus… Show more
