Abstract

The bilateral limb deficit (BLD) describes the difference in maximal or near-maximal force generating capacity of muscles when they are contracted alone and in combination with the contralateral muscles. This study examined the effects of a 6-week (three times per week) bilateral leg strength training programme on BLD in younger and older adults. Data were collected from 33 subjects during slow (45°/s) isokinetic knee extensions and flexions before and after the training programme. After training, the BLD was reduced for extension (73.3–86.9%; P<0.001) but not for flexion (67.5–71.2%; P=0.13) regardless of age and gender. This study suggests that difficulty in recruiting all muscle units during a task involving bilateral activation can be improved by training, although such an effect appears to depend on the muscle group appreciated.
