The age-related decline in muscle function, particularly muscle power, is associated with increased risk of important clinical outcomes. Physical activity is an important determinant of muscle function, and different types of physical activity e.g. power-based versus endurance-based exercise appear to have differential effects on muscle power. Cross-sectional studies suggest that participation in power-based exercise is associated with greater muscle power across adulthood but this has not been investigated longitudinally. We recruited eighty-nine male and female power and endurance master athletes (sprint and distance runners respectively, baseline age 35–90y). Using jumping mechanography, we measured lower limb muscle function during a vertical jump including at least two testing sessions longitudinally over 4.5 ± 2.4y. We examined effects of time, discipline (power/endurance) and sex in addition to two- and three-way interactions using linear mixed-effects models. Peak relative power, relative force and jump height, but not Esslingen Fitness Index (indicating peak power relative to sex and age-matched reference data) declined with time. Peak power, force, height and EFI were greater in power than endurance athletes. There were no sex, discipline or sex*discipline interactions with time for any variable, suggesting that changes were similar over time for athletes of both sexes and disciplines. Advantages in lower limb muscle function in power athletes were maintained with time, in line with previous cross-sectional studies. These results suggest that improvements in lower limb function in less active older individuals following power-based training persist with continued adherence, although this requires further investigation in interventional studies.

Similar relative decline in aerobic and anaerobic power with age in endurance and power master athletes of both sexes
Bagley, L.; McPhee, J. S.; Ganse, B.; Müller, K.; Korhonen, Marko; Rittweger, J.; Degens, H. (Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2019)Lower physical activity levels in old age are thought to contribute to the age‐related decline in peak aerobic and anaerobic power. Master athletes maintain high levels of physical activity with advancing age and endurance ... -
Greater maintenance of bone mineral content in male than female athletes and in sprinting and jumping than endurance athletes : a longitudinal study of bone strength in elite masters athletes
Ireland, Alex; Mittag, Uwe; Degens, Hans; Felsenberg, Dieter; Ferretti, José L.; Heinonen, Ari; Koltai, Erika; Korhonen, Marko T.; McPhee, Jamie S.; Mekjavic, Igor; Piasecki, Jessica; Pisot, Rado; Radak, Zsolt; Simunic, Bostjan; Suominen, Harri; Wilks, Désirée C.; Winwood, Keith; Rittweger, Jörn (Springer, 2020)We investigated longitudinal changes in tibia bone strength in master power (jumping and sprinting) and endurance (distance) athletes of both sexes. Bone mass but not cross-sectional moment of inertia was better maintained ... -
Ankle and knee extensor muscle effort during locomotion in young and older athletes : Implications for understanding age-related locomotor decline
Kulmala, Juha-Pekka; Korhonen, Marko T.; Ruggiero, Luca; Kuitunen, Sami; Suominen, Harri; Heinonen, Ari; Mikkola, Aki; Avela, Janne (Nature Publishing Group, 2020)Age-related reduction in muscle force generation capacity is similarly evident across different lower limb muscle groups, yet decline in locomotor performance with age has been shown to depend primarily on reduced ankle ... -
Regular strength and sprint training counteracts bone aging : a 10‐year follow‐up in male masters athletes
Suominen, Tuuli H.; Alén, Markku; Törmäkangas, Timo; Degens, Hans; Rittweger, Jörn; Heinonen, Ari; Suominen, Harri; Korhonen, Marko T. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2021)Cross‐sectional and interventional studies suggest that high‐intensity strength and impact‐type training provide a powerful osteogenic stimulus even in old age. However, longitudinal evidence on the ability of high‐intensity ... -
Trajectories of mobility limitations over 24 years and their characterization by shift work and leisure-time physical activity in midlife
Prakash, K. C.; Neupane, Subas; Leino-Arjas, Päivi; Härmä, Mikko; von Bonsdorff, Mikaela; Rantanen, Taina; von Bonsdorff, Monika; Hinrichs, Timo; Seitsamo, Jorma; Ilmarinen, Juhani; Nygård, Clas-Håkan (Oxford University Press, 2019)Background We aimed to investigate trajectories of mobility limitations (MLs) over a period of 24 years. In addition, we aimed to study how shift work and leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) in midlife predict assignment ...
