Synopsis

Keywords: Muscle, Aging

Motivation: The exercise-tailored diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) protocol has never been implemented to assess sex differences in age-related muscle quality in the healthy population.

Goal(s): To investigate the feasibility of muscle kinetics on DWI during exercise for assessing sex differences in age-related muscle quality.

Approach: This study recruited 87 healthy participants with 174 legs imaged and assessed muscle kinetics on DWI during exercise for assessing sex differences in age-related muscle quality.

Results: Males and females showed different age-related pattern with muscle kinetics on DWI during plantar flexion.

Impact: An exercise-tailored MR protocol can be implemented for assessing the muscle quality.
