A. Increased susceptibility to muscular damage B. Decelerated recovery C. Decline in the neural drive D. All of the above

2. Which are the most active muscles of the lower limb during cycling?

A. Rectus femoris and gastrocnemius medialis B. Biceps femoris and rectus femoris C. Tibialis anterior and biceps femoris D. Gastrocnemius medialis and tibialis anterior

3. Older adults employ a different strategy than young adults when the task does not require a lot of force production but still demands coordination and precise control over the movement.

A. True B. False

4. Older individuals rely more on the tibialis anterior, which is a mono-articular, force-producing muscle, for a relatively demanding task.

A. True B. False

5. Which group had a larger increase in EMGc, implying a longer duration of simultaneous activity in the lower leg muscles?

A. Older individuals B. Young individuals C. The two groups had equal increases D. None of the above

6. The range of motion of the knee splay angle was significantly different between the two groups, confirming that there is a change in older adults’ cycling strategy as workload increases.
