    Have not yet seen full text, but looks ok from abstract.

    Pretty much showed that those older females with higher BMI had lower plantarflexion stiffness than those with lower BMI
    The author concluded that this means: "Older women who are OW have low plantarflexor stiffness, which may limit propulsive forces during walking and necessitate greater muscle activation for active force generation."
