Abstract
⺠Aging alters morphology of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). ⺠Both young and aged NMJs resisted remodeling following 2 weeks of muscle unloading. ⺠Aged muscle fibers are more sensitive to unloading-induced atrophy than the young ones. ⺠Only in aged muscle fibers did pre-habilitation attenuate unloading-induced atrophy. ⺠Only in aged muscle fibers did 2 weeks of endurance training increase fiber size.
