Popis: Abstract Intramyocellular lipids (IMCL) stored in droplets in muscle cells and free fatty acids (FFA) from fat cells in the blood are the main substrates of adenosine triphosphate during continuous muscle contractions of relatively lower intensity. Although it is known that the lipid oxidative capacity decreases with aging, the effect of IMCL and FFA on muscle contraction in older individuals remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the contribution of skeletal muscle lipids and blood lipids as energy sources for muscle contraction in older individuals. Eighteen older individuals (mean age: 70.4 ± 3.5 years) underwent muscle contraction intervention induced by intermittent neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to the vastus lateralis for 30 min. Fasting blood samples were obtained and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H‐MRS) was performed before and after NMES, and the parameters (including IMCL and extramyocellular lipid [EMCL]) from 1H‐MRS, along with FFA and adiponectin levels, were analyzed using the blood samples of all participants. Levels of IMCL and EMCL did not change (p > 0.05); however, FFA and adiponectin levels decreased from 1.1 ± 0.5 mEq/L to 0.8 ± 0.2 mEq/L and 12.0 ± 5.3 μg/ml to 11.4 ± 5.0 μg/ml, after NMES (p
