Age- and sex-dependence of muscle quality: Influence of intramuscular non-contractile tissues
The results indicate that 1) the presence of non-contractile tissues varies by age and muscle groups, 2) the extensive presence of non-contractile tissues can contribute to the underestimation of its muscle quality, and 3) the sex differences in muscle quality are influenced by factors other than muscle composition.
