Background. Fatigability increases while the capacity for mitochondrial energy production tends to decrease significantly with age. Thus, diminished mitochondrial function may contribute to higher levels of fatigability in older adults. Methods. The relationship between fatigability and skeletal muscle mitochondrial function was examined in 30 participants aged 78.5 +/- 5.0 years ( 47% female, 93% white), with a body mass index of 25.9 +/- 2.7 kg/ m(2) and usual gait-speed of 1.2 +/- 0.2 m/s. Fatigability was defined using rating of perceived exertion ( 6-20 point Borg scale) after a 5-minute treadmill walk at 0.72 m/s. Phosphocreatine recovery in the quadriceps was measured using P-31 magnetic resonance spectroscopy and images of the quadriceps were captured to calculate quadriceps volume. ATPmax ( mM ATP/s) and oxidative capacity of the quadriceps ( ATPmax center dot Quadriceps volume) were calculated. Peak aerobic capacity ( VO2 peak) was measured using a modified Balke protocol. Results. ATPmax center dot Quadriceps volume was associated with VO2 peak and was 162.61 mM ATP center dot mL/s lower ( p =.03) in those with high ( rating of perceived exertion >= 10) versus low ( rating of perceived exertion
