Supporting evidence — 5 representative gaps

• Age, isometric knee extension strength, and fractionated resisted response time (1978) · Experimental Aging Research · doi

  There is a need to investigate the effects of age and physical activity on strength and response time. Prior work has not fully explored the relationship between age, physical activity, and motor function.

• Reaction and Movement Time as a Function of age and Physical Activity Level (1975) · Journal of Gerontology · cited 225× · doi

  The study identifies a gap in the understanding of the effect of age and physical activity level on reaction and movement time in men. The study aims to fill this gap by comparing the performance of four groups: older active sportsmen, older nonactive men, young active sportsmen, and young nonactive men.

• Motor Performance of Women As a Function of Age and Physical Activity Level (1986) · Journal of Gerontology · doi

  Little is known about the effect of physical activity level on motor performance in women. The study aims to fill this gap by examining the motor performance of active and inactive women of different ages.

• Replication of Age and Physical Activity Effects on Reaction and Movement Time (1978) · Journal of Gerontology · doi

  The study aims to address the gap in our understanding of the relationship between physical activity and aging. The study investigates the effects of age and physical activity on reaction and movement time, which is not well understood.

• Motor Performance of Women As a Function of Age and Physical Activity Level (1986) · Journal of Gerontology · doi

  Further research is needed to examine the effect of physical activity level on motor performance in women. The study suggests that future research should investigate the relationship between physical activity level and motor performance in women of different ages and activity levels.
