Concept map illustrating age-related changes in muscle physiology and how they contribute to reduced walking speed in older adults. This study examined the relationships between muscle mitochondrial capacity/efficiency, aerobic capacity, and walking speed in older adults. VO2 peak = maximal oxygen consumption during maximal dynamic exercise. This is an index of whole-body aerobic capacity.
