The original definition of sarcopenia refers to the age‐related loss of muscle mass. The
literature suggests that the prevalence of sarcopenia in 60‐to 70‐year‐olds is in the range of …

The contributions of fiber atrophy, fiber loss, in situ specific force, and voluntary activation to
weakness in sarcopenia remain unclear. To investigate, 40 older (20 women; age 72±4 …

The greater muscular strength of long-term resistance-trained (LTT) individuals is often
attributed to hypertrophy, but the role of other factors, notably maximum voluntary specific …

As a result of advances in medical treatments and associated policy over the last century, life
expectancy has risen substantially and continues to increase globally. However, the …
