Partial correlation analysis (controlling by physical activity levels) was significant between TUG and Age in both RA (r = 0.438; p = 0.010) and CG (r = 0.336; p = 0.048) a, Torque and Age in the CG (r = − 0.498; p = 0.002), but not in RA (r = − 0.317; p = 0.089) (b), Muscle Thickness and Age in the CG (r = − 0.576; p < 0.001), but not in RA (r = − 0.310; p = 0.092) (c) and Pennation Angle and Age in the CG (r = − 0.462; p = 0.005), but not in RA (r = − 0.260; p = 0.137) (d). Black dots = CG; White dots = RA. Solid line = CG; Dashed line = RA
