Resting muscle twitch contractility Peripheral muscle contractility [i.e., electrically evoked muscle twitch force (resting doublet twitch force)] decreased in old participants (main effect of time: p < 0.001), whereas it did not reach statistical significance in the young participants ( p = 0.087).
