Abstract
Exercise results in increased cardiac plecotropy (the augmentation of torsion parameters in response to load or stimulus) but this effect is attenuated with aging. Further investigation is required to determine whether impairment of plecotropy contributes to the reduced exercise capacity associated with aging.
