Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction of physical activity level in adulthood by physical characteristics, physical performance and physical activity in adolescence: an 11-year follow-up study.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the major portion of the variation in physical activitylevel in adult women, but not in the adult men, could be predicted from physical characteristics, physical performance, and the activity level in adolescence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in muscle fibre type from adolescence to adulthood in women and men
TL;DR: It is suggested that there is a sex-related fibre adaptation to increased age: the type I percentage tended to increase in the women and decrease significantly in the men and the fibre areas remained unchanged in both sexes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of muscular endurance and strength from adolescence to adulthood and level of physical capacity in men and women at the age of 34 years
TL;DR: Muscular endurance and strength increased significantly in 4 of the 5 remeasured tests for the men; bench press increased by 58%, two‐hand lift by 20%, hand grip by 16% and Sargent jump by 8%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Muscle strength from aldolescence to adulthood : relationship to muscle fibre types
TL;DR: It is suggested that women may be more dependent on physical activity than adult men to develop strength and the percentage of type I fibres reflects the degree of physical activity among adult women but not among adolescent women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Skeletal muscle fibre types in teenagers: relationship to physical performance and activity
E. Jansson,G. Hedberg +1 more
TL;DR: Strong correlations between muscle fibre characteristics and physical performance, physical activity and interest in physical activity were found for boys than for girls.
