Human muscle weakness and fatigue: the effects of disuse, age and exercise

Weakness and fatigue in the human triceps surae have been assessed objectively by the measurement of absolute force evoked using supramaximal stimulation. The effects of disuse, age and exercise were systematically investigated. Under control conditions the triceps surae of young men were found to g...
