Phys of Aging: Chapter 5
Across
- 1. Age-related loss of skeletal muscle strength
- 5. Muscle fiber type that takes over other type of muscle fiber as a result of aging
- 8. Ratio resulting in smaller number of motor units equaling more fibers per motor unit
- 9. Type of muscle fibers affect more by aging
- 10. Type of exercises preferred for older adults
Down
- 2. Type of signaling of recruitment of motor neurons and skeletal muscle fibers
- 3. Skeletal muscle weakness with aging is related to declines in
- 4. Contraction force and movement velocity
- 6. Larger type II muscle fibers
- 7. Release channels altered due to changes in depolarization of sarcolemmal resting membrane
