Attenuated aortic blood pressure responses to metaboreflex activation in older adults with dynapenia.

CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicate that aortic DBP response to muscle metaboreflex activation is attenuated in older adults with dynapenia. Normal aortic DBP response during metaboreflex activation may positively affect walking performance in non-dynapenic older adults.
