Endurance training delays age of decline in leg strength and muscle morphology

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to examine the influence of long term endurance training and age on strength, and muscle morphology characteristics of the leg extensor muscles. The finding supports the maintenance of isokinetic leg extension strength, which is connected with chronic endurance training through the seventh decade of life.
