Differences (mean (SD)) in T2 values measured before and immediately after exercise in each muscle in each of the age groups. All differences were significant: GML and SOL (p<0.001), TA (p=0.036) allowing for differences in age
| Young | Middle aged | Elderly | |
| TA/ms | 0.1 (1.2) | 0.2 (1.8) | 0.4 (1.4) |
| SOL/ms | 1.2 (1.3) | 1.7 (1.3) | 1.8 (1.8) |
| GML/ms | 3.2 (1.3) | 4.6 (1.5) | 4.3 (1.6) |
SOL, soleus; TA, tibialis anterior.
