Quadriceps volume and energetic capacities
| Group | VQ(ml) | Oxidative capacity/VQ(mM ATP s−1) | Quadriceps oxidative capacity (mmol ATP s−1) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adult (n = 9) | 3560 ± 220 | 1.16 ± 0.15 | 4.27 ± 0.75 |
| Elderly (n = 39) | 2370 ± 120* | 0.61 ± 0.04* | 1.50 ± 0.15* |
| E/A × 100 | 67% | 53% | 36% |
Values are means ± s.e.m. Variables: VQ, quadriceps volume; E/A × 100 as in Table 1.
Significant difference between the elderly and the adult means.
