This study determined whether age-related mechanisms can increase fatigue of arm muscles during maximal velocity dynamic contractions, as occurs in the lower limb. We compared elbow flexor fatigue of young (n=10, 20.8 ± 2.7 years) and old men (n=16, 73.8 ± 6.1 years) during and in recovery from a dynamic and an isometric postural fatiguing task. Each task was maintained until failure while supporting a load equivalent to 20% of maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) torque. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was used to assess supraspinal fatigue (superimposed twitch, SIT) and muscle relaxation. Time to failure was longer for old men than young for the isometric task (9.5±3.1 vs. 17.2±7.0 min, P=0.01) but similar for the dynamic task (6.3±2.4 min vs. 6.0±2.0 min, P = 0.73). Initial peak rate of relaxation was slower for the old men than young, and associated with a longer time to failure for both tasks (P<0.05). Low initial power during elbow flexion was associated with the greatest difference (reduction) in time to failure between the isometric task and dynamic task (r =−0.54, P=0.015). SIT declined after both fatigue tasks similarly with age, although recovery of SIT was associated with MVIC recovery for the old (both sessions) but not the young. Biceps brachii and brachioradialis EMG activity (%MVIC) of old men were greater than young during the dynamic fatiguing task (P<0.05), but similar during the isometric task. Muscular mechanisms and greater relative muscle activity (EMG activity) explain the greater fatigue during dynamic task for the old men compared with young in elbow flexor muscles. Recovery of MVC torque however relies more on recovery of supraspinal fatigue among older men than the young men.
