Age and sex influence the activation‐dependent stiffness of the pectoralis major

The pectoralis major fiber regions contribute uniquely to the mobility and the stability of the shoulder complex. It is unknown how age and sex influence the stiffness of these regions during volitional contractions, but this knowledge is critical to inform clinical interventions targeting the pectoralis major. The aim of the present study was to determine if the activation‐dependent stiffness of the pectoralis major fiber regions differs...
