    The functioning of the muscle system depends on the nervous, circulatory, and respiratory systems. As a result, many age-related changes in this system derive from age-related changes in the other systems, which vary greatly among individuals. Furthermore, alterations in exercise received by muscles quickly and dramatically affect the muscle system. Though there is an average age-related decline in exercise, changes in the total amount of exercise of the body and of each muscle vary greatly both from time to time and from one person to another. Two consequences of these variables are that they add to the age-related increase in heterogeneity among people and make it quite difficult to identify true age changes in the muscle system. Therefore, in this chapter the causes of each age-related change will be noted.
