Effects of Power-velocity Muscle Characteristics During Ageing

The purpose of this project is to investigate the age-related differences in force-velocity muscle characteristics during isolated knee extensions variable in speed and load, during cyclic movements on a usual and recumbent bike variable in speed and velocity development and a functional test battery with healthy participants aged between 20-80 years.

Inclusion Criteria:

• healthy volunteers age 20 to 80 years

Exclusion Criteria:

• Knee or hip prothesis
• Systematic training
• Cardiovascular disease
• Acute lower back pain
• Acute knee pain
• Dementia
