Abstract

The world population is ageing. According to the United Nation's 2019 World Population Prospects, by 2050, one in six people will be over age 65, a striking increase from the one in 11 in 2019. More than ever, we need to elucidate age-related adaptations of the neuromuscular system to implement interventions which can maintain or improve neuromuscular function in older adults.
