Abstract
=0.15; N=12). Lower extremity RFD is (1) particularly sensitive (i.e. adapts earlier and/or more extensively) towards neurodegeneration, and more so than Fmax, and (2) of importance for physical function but apparently not superior to Fmax. RFD could serve as a useful indicator/biomarker of changes in neuromuscular function elicited by neurodegeneration.
