FVC per 100 g of forearm fat free mass (FFM) at rest and during exercise in control conditions (A) and during local adrenoreceptor blockade (B). In control conditions (A) older adults had significantly lower FVC at 15 and 25% MVC workloads. During local adrenoreceptor blockade (B) resting and exercising FVC were greater in both groups compared to control conditions, but the age-associated impairment in exercising FVC persisted at both 15 and 25% MVC, and was also evident at 5% MVC. *P < 0.05 vs. Young.
