FIGURE 5

Submaximal force (A), maximal force (B), standard deviation of the submaximal force (C) and EMG during the submaximal force task (D) during the 10 and 30%-dual-task. Means are calculated for the first and second half of the task. Black circles represent middle-aged subjects, red squares represent young subjects. Solid lines for 30%-dual-task, dashed lines for 10%-dual-task. Error bars represent SE. * Shows main effects, # shows interaction effects. Signs of fatigue in the second half of the dual task are clearly visible for the 30%-dual-task (i.e., decline in MVC, increase in the standard deviation of the submaximal force associated with an increase in EMG).
