abstract：:Data are scarce relating to the plasticity with strength training of dynamic muscle performance in older humans. Hence, we investigated alterations in the torque-velocity relation with strength training in old age, and their origin. Knee extension and leg-press exercises were performed three times per week for 14 week...
