| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project developed novel methodologies that we established by using neuromuscular electrical stimulation and high density surface electromyography techniques to assess quality of muscle and neural activation（Tomita, Watanabe et al. Physiol Rep 2020）. We applied them to young and older adults to quantify three major determinants of muscle strength, i.e., muscle volume, quality of muscle, and neural activation（Watanabe et al. Physiol Rep 2020, Watanabe et al. J Gerontol, Watanabe et al. Front Nutr 2021）. Our novel methodologies could help to understand what factor is major for age-related strength loss and/or what factors is improved by a countermeasure to age-related motor dysfunctions.
