Is fatigability increased with age during velocity-dependent contractions of the dorsiflexors?
These results demonstrate that older adults are more fatigable than young adults during a velocity-dependent power task. This finding is in contrast to the majority of fatigue data previously reported from less functionally relevant isometric or isokinetic tasks.
Although the hypothalamus is able to respond to exogenous stimuli, absence of a normal afternoon rise in LH would indicate a hypothalamic deficit in ESF-treated animals.
