DESCRIPTION
Advanced aging in males and females is accompanied by marked declines in motor performance, including reactions in muscle strength, power and increased fatigability of limb muscles. These changes begin as early as midlife and accelerate from approximately 65 years of age. High-level athletic performance, which can serve as a proxy for the trajectory of optimal human biological function during advanced aging, indicates that while males are faster, stronger and more powerful than females, the relative age-related decline in performance is greater for females than males after approximately 50 years of age. This webinar highlights key neural and muscular mechanisms for these age-related reductions in motor performance in males and females and examines the differential role of sex hormones across the lifespan.

Perfect
Color: Blue
I am fostering a Husky/Black and Tan Coon dog. We have had her since early February. She has chewed up a lot of my shoes. She destroyed my other dogs stuffed squeaky toys. So I decided to buy her this ball. She reminds me of Linus from Charlie Brown. She wakes up with this ball and falls asleep with it. I’ve not had another shoe fatality. This ball is her most loved possession. It is pretty tough. Now She did kill the squeaker within the first few hours (which trust me I am GOOD with that! I’ve never put treats in it. The rope is still attached. After this review I am going to buy her another as a back up!

Favorite fetch
We have a 70 lb Aussie and a 13 lb Havanese who compete with each other to fetch toys. This hedgehog is their favorite, largely due to the loud assertive squeak. Our big dog is a chewer and has a history of getting to any squeaker in a toy, once nearly choking when successfully removing one from a smaller toy. She still tries to chew on this toy, going straight for the nose but has not yet gotten to the squeaker which is large enough that I don't believe would be a choking hazard if she did get to it. No soft toy is indestructible, but compared to other plush toys, this is more durable. Once the nose has been chewed off, I have simply hand stitched the hole closed and from then on she's no longer interested in chewing through it. Have run through the wash and comes out fine. When one eventually wears out I order a replacement and the 2 puppies compete once again over ownership.
