Document Summary

20 s l l a f h t i l w n o i t a u p o p e h t f o. The changes in csa do not completely explain the decrease in muscle strength and power (changes in muscle mass do not completely explain changes in muscle function) The university of sydney: figure on left, figure on right: Isometric, concentric, eccentric strength from ~40 yr and accelerates after 65-70 yr. Sensory, motor and cognitive changes alter biomechanics, changing balance and mobility. Max hr, stroke volume and cardiac output . ~1cm/ decade during 40s and 50s and accelerates after 60 yr. Increases fear & risk of falling and can reduce daily activity. Deficits in strength & power predict predict disability in old age disability in old age & mortality risk and mortality risk. Increases fear and risk of falling and can reduce daily activity. Major determinant of reduced exercise capacity with aging.
