The purpose of the current study is to compare muscle-to-muscle coherence between old and young individuals during gait in different intensities and tasks. EMG data was collect during treadmill walking of antagonistic leg muscles during gait of young and old individuals. The EMG signals' frequency was analyzed using a coherence analysis. The data revealed that the young subjects exhibited statistically significant greater levels of in 4 out of the 6 frequency bands examined. The old adults showed an inability to modulate levels of coherence during differing tasks and intensities. It is thought this insensitivity in modulating coherence demonstrates lower levels of control of and functional connectivity to agonist/antagonist muscle pairs. These data suggest that age affects the functional organization of human voluntary movement. 504 Includes bibliographical references (leaves 33-35). 650 0 Muscles |xMotility. |=^A106182 650 0 Gait in humans. |=^A231004 650 0 Physical fitness for older people. |=^A588874 650 0 Human locomotion. |=^A3913 650 7 Gait in humans. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00937068 650 7 Human locomotion. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00963159 650 7 Muscles |xMotility. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01029977 650 7 Physical fitness for older people. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01199492 655 7 Academic theses. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01726453 655 7 Academic theses. |2lcgft 655 7 Thèses et écrits académiques. |2rvmgf |0(CaQQLa)RVMGF-000001173 700 1 Hortobágyi, Tibor, |edegree supervisor. |=^A1026447 710 2 East Carolina University. |bDepartment of Exercise and Sport Science. |?UNAUTHORIZED 856 41 |zAccess via ScholarShip |uhttp://hdl.handle.net/10342/10198 949 Click on web address |wasis |hjoyner101 949 Click on web address |wasis |hhsl111 994 C0 |bERE 596 1 4 998 1457133 998 1457133
