The significant increase in the number of elderly people in our society raises concerns related to the quality of life and health of this population. At that age, the decrease of postural control, increases the probability of falls, which occurs once a year in 30% of the elderly. Previous studies have shown that the force variability of the plantar flexor muscles and the maximal force sym…
Among the several factors that contribute to increased muscle strength, neural adaptation seems to be the main determinant. After a few weeks of training, there is an increase in the magnitude of action potentials triggered by motoneurons (neural drive). In the past, the magnitude of the neural drive was believed to be proportional to the descending motor command from cortical pathways. C…
