Popis: Abstract Ankle plantar flexors play a vital role in the mobility of older adults. The strength and velocity of plantarflexion are critical factors in determining walking speed. Despite reports on how age and sex affect plantarflexion strength, basic information regarding plantarflexion velocity is still lacking. This cross-sectional observational study investigated age-related changes and sex differences in plantarflexion velocity by comparing them with plantarflexion strength. A total of 550 healthy adults were classified into four age groups for each sex: Young (
