Age does not influence muscle fiber length adaptation to increased excursion, indicating that fiber length is influenced by dynamic mechanical signals in addition to static length.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Rat data on age-independent adaptations should not change practice; extends evidence for dynamic mechanical signals in fiber length regulation.
