Abstract
Introduction: There are observable decreases in muscle strength as a result of ageing that occur from the age 50. The age-related loss of maximal force production is thought to occur as a result of changes within the neuromuscular system. Changes in both maximal force production and rate of force development (RFD) are due to age-related changes within supraspinal (i.e., reduced motor cortex excitability, increased cortical inhibition), spinal (reduced spinal motoneurone excitability which influences motor unit recruitment and discharge rates) and muscular changes (mainly reduced muscle mass).
