Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolic cost, mechanical work, and efficiency during walking in young and older men

Omar S. Mian, +6 more
- 01 Feb 2006 - 
TL;DR: To better understand the cause of the elevated metabolic cost of walking in older adults, mechanical work, efficiency, and antagonist muscle co‐activation are investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Muscle strength, volume and activation following 12-month resistance training in 70-year-old males.

Christopher I. Morse, +5 more
- 08 Jul 2005 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that the gain in muscle strength in response to long-term (12-month) training in older men is mostly accounted for by an increased muscle volume and activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kinematics of stair descent in young and older adults and the impact of exercise training.

Omar S. Mian, +4 more
- 01 Jan 2007 - 
TL;DR: Healthy older adults perform stair descent at a slower speed and with greater motion outside the plane of progression than young adults, and there is no evidence that these differences are reduced by generic exercise training, at least in non-frail older adults.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuromuscular and balance responses to flywheel inertial versus weight training in older persons

Gladys L. Onambélé, +6 more
- 14 Nov 2008 - 
TL;DR: Quadriceps flywheel loading not only produces a greater increase in power than weight training but its physiological benefits also transfer/overspill to the plantarflexor muscle-tendon unit resulting in a significantly improved balance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gastrocnemius muscle-tendon behaviour during walking in young and older adults.

Omar S. Mian, +6 more
- 01 Jan 2007 - 
TL;DR: Age-related differences in muscle architectural and tendon mechanical properties have been observed in vivo under static conditions and during single joint contractions during a fundamental locomotor task – walking.
