Compared to younger adults, older adults operate their calf muscles at shorter lengths due to an age-related decrease in Achilles tendon stiffness. The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that shorter calf muscle fascicle lengths precipitate earlier and faster rates of local muscle fatigability.
