Fig 2 (A) Steadiness data that were extracted from the 3.9- to 31.2-Hz bandwidth of the force-time curve. (B) Representative force-time curve from the steadiness trial. Red vertical lines delineate the middle phase of muscle contraction. (C) Morphology of the force-time curve after the steadiness data were extracted.

Fig 3 Interactions between knee extensor steadiness (log transformed) and knee extensor strength for (A) self-paced timed stair test and (B) fast-paced timed stair test. Greater values of knee extensor steadiness indicate greater force fluctuations. High knee extensor strength is defined as 1 SD above the mean knee extensor strength; Low knee extensor strength is defined as 1 SD below the mean knee extensor strength. Abbreviation: B, unstandardized regression coefficient from final hierarchical model.
