Representative twitch force signals for the EDL (top) and the tongue (bottom). No statistically significant differences (p < .05) in twitch force were found between young and old groups. For the EDL, no statistically significant differences were observed between groups in temporal measures of muscle contraction (contraction time, half decay time). For the tongue, twitch contraction time was significantly longer in the old group relative to the young group.
