We examined the relationship between grip strength declines and muscle-tendon responses induced by long-term overall performance of a high-repetition low-force (HRLF) reaching task in rats. Comparable cytokine increases were detected in serum with HRLF: IL-1α and IL-10 in week 18 and TNF-α and IL-6 in week 24. Grip strength correlated inversely with IL-6 in muscle… Continue reading We examined the relationship between grip strength declines and muscle-tendon responses
