This study examines sex-specific effects of fatiguing exercise on skeletal muscle passive mechanics in young and older adults, finding preserved sex differences in modulus reduction in males across ages.

The paper examines how chronic resistance training and acute fatigue affect passive viscoelastic properties of human skeletal muscle fibers, finding greater responsiveness in males than females.

This study shows fatiguing exercise reduces cellular passive Young's modulus in male human muscle but not female, linked to titin phosphorylation changes.
