There were no differences in forces between PBS controls and PF mice (Fig. 6C).
They found a noticeable difference in force between these two groups.
The difference in force between muscle from Mariusz mice and controls in these tests could have been accounted for by the difference in the mass of the soleus muscle (6.72±0.17 mg (mean ± SEM) in Mariusz mice compared with 3.93±0.47 mg in controls; P<0.01), and hence physiological cross-sectional area.
Grip fatigue was calculated as the percent difference in force between the twentieth and the first grip.
A statistical treatment was used to account for differences in force measurements between cantilevers which might be due to not only the number and position of cells, but also differences in cell metabolic activity.
To our knowledge, very little information is available on potential differences in force variability between highly skilled and sedentary individuals.
However, the physiological mechanism behind the potential differences in force fluctuation between elite and novice athletes is not well characterized.
There were average 9.2%, 23.4%, 22.7%, and 23.4% differences in force magnitudes between groups in the middle 5 min for MLL bouts 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively.
There were average 6.8%, 30.4%, 18.5%, and 28.0% differences in force magnitudes between groups in the first 5 min for MLL bouts 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively.
There were no significant differences in force generation between the wheelchairs around corners (t = −0.719, df = 16, and P = 0.483) or over mats (t = −1.463, df = 16, and P = 0.163).
