By chest press and sit-up method Muscle strength and Endurance was measured in young, middle and old age groups, correlation between each age group and power action was studied. 135 male and 153 female with age ranging from twenties who were all
health
and from any physical be defect were skeletal.
1. Muscle power
The average value of muscle power of man reveals 46.3±2.68kg in third decade, increase it's value upto 62.8±12.8kg in fourth decade, 52.7±11.2kg & 53.2±11.1kg in fifth and sixth decade and 48.0±13.1kg in seventh decade, which shows gradual
decline
with aging. In woman it's average value reveals 16.2±2.66kg in third decade, 22.5±6.17kg in fourth decade, in fifith decade increased it's value upto 24.8±8.54kg but, decreased 27.7±6.84kg, 22.1±4.48kg in sixth and seventh decade.
2. Endurance of Muscle
The endurace of muscle in man reveals 32.1±2.43in third decade, relatively increased upto 34.4±7.22 in fourth decade but, decreased after 5th decade with aging. In woman average value reveals 22.7±54.9 in third decade, and 8.20±11.1 in
seventh
decade, which shows gradual decline with aging.
From above results, when aging take place from adulthood not only is there a change in human structural functional aspect, there is also a gradual decrease in their power action.
