Changes in connective tissues of the skeletal muscle-tendon unit (MTU) of aging animal muscles have been associated with increased passive viscoelastic properties. This study examined whether similar changes in the viscoelastic properties were present in short calf MTUs of older women in vivo. Fifteen women 68-87 years of age with short calf MTUs, as represented by limited active dorsiflexion (DF) range of motion (ROM) of
