简介
Using global surface electromyography (sEMG) and the sEMG threshold it has been suggested that children activate their type-II motor unit (MU) to a lesser extent compared with adults. However, when age-related differences in discrete MU activation are examined using sEMG decomposition this phenomenon is not observed. Furthermore, findings from these studies are inconsistent and conflicting. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine differences in discrete MU activation of the vastus lateralis (VL) between boys and men during moderate-intensity knee extensions. Seventeen boys and 20 men completed two laboratory sessions. Following a habituation session, maximal voluntary isometric knee extension (MVIC) torque was determined before completing trapezoidal contractions at 70% MVIC. sEMG of the VL was captured and mathematically decomposed into individual MU action potential trains …
