  1. Values are means ± SDs
  2. M men, W women, YOG younger-old group, OOG older-old group, KE-F knee extension force, KE-F/BM KE-F relative to body mass, STS time time taken for a 10-times-repeated STS task, STS-PI power index calculated by using an equation with body height, body mass, and STS time as variables, STS-VI velocity index calculated using an equation with body height and STS time as variables
  3. aSignificantly different from OOG at p < 0.0001 as a result of Scheffe test
  4. bSignificantly different from women at p < 0.0001 as a result of Scheffe test
  5. cSignificantly different from women at p < 0.001 as a result of Scheffe test
  6. dSignificantly different from OOG at p < 0.0001 as a result of unpaired t-test within the same sex
  7. eSignificantly different from women at p < 0.0001 as a result of unpaired t-test within the same age group
