Assessment of muscle function deterioration in aging populations: Insights from the load-velocity relationship during the loaded sit-to-stand test by Daniel Jiménez-Lupión, Ignacio Chirosa-Ríos, Rodrigo Lizama-Pérez, Luis Chirosa-Ríos, Daniel Jerez-Mayorga

“…The Load-Velocity (L-V) relationship provides a method for assessing muscle function during dynamic multi-joint movements, making it valuable for identifying age-related neuromuscular decline. This study aimed to examine the relationship between variables derived from the L-V relationship (L0, V0, and Aline) obtained during the loaded sit-to-stand test and various muscle performance indices, including knee extension peak force (KEPF) and various muscle quality indices (MQI).A total of 113 participants (49 middle-aged adults and 64 older adults; age = 61 ± 9.92 years) performed the loaded 5-Sit-To-Stand using Functional Electromechanical Dynamometry. …”
