the effects of aging on muscles are
decrease in size
fusion of muscle to bone
decrease in strength
decrease in mitochondria
increase in neural inputs
As people age, muscle mass (size) generally decreases (sarcopenia). Muscle strength also declines due to changes in muscle - fiber composition and reduced nerve - muscle communication. Mitochondrial function and quantity in muscle cells can decrease with age, affecting energy production. Muscle - to - bone fusion is not a typical effect of aging on muscles. Neural inputs to muscles usually decrease rather than increase with aging.
