Muscle architectural characteristics in women aged 20-79 years

Article Abstract:

A study on the muscle architectural characteristics that is muscle thickness, pennation angle and fascicle length, in women aged twenty to seventy-nine is undertaken. It is suggested that the decline in muscle thickness and pennation angle with aging are remarkable in the vastus lateralis and gastrocnemius muscles.

Age-related differences in the properties of the plantar flexor muscles and tendons

Article Abstract:

The age-related differences in the human plantar flexor muscles and Achilles tendons are determined. Results suggest that the different processes of age-related changes in the muscle and tendon are different, but an age-related decrease in the maximal strain of the Achilles tendon is observed.

Five-year maintenance of bone mineral density in women master runners

Article Abstract:

The effect of chronic running exercise alone, and in conjunction with HRT, on bone mineral density in premenopausal and postmenopausal women is determined. Findings suggested that calcium intake increased over time and it revealed age as the only predictor of change in bone mass.
