To investigate the influence of pre-induced fatigue in one leg on neuromuscular
performance and corticospinal responses of the contralateral homologous muscles, three …

We investigated the cross-over effect of muscle fatigue and its time course on the non-
exercising contralateral limb (NEL) after unilateral fatiguing contractions of the ipsilateral …

New Findings What is the central question of this study? Do group III and IV muscle afferents
act at the spinal or cortical level to affect the ability of the central nervous system to drive …

Exercise-induced fatigue affects muscle performance and modulates corticospinal
excitability in non-exercised muscles. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect …

Key points Fatigue and muscle pain induced in a remote muscle group has been shown to
alter neuromuscular performance in exercising muscles. Inhibitory neural feedback …

Muscle pain is an important determinant of exercise tolerance, but its relationship with
neurophysiological responses during a submaximal exercise trial is unclear. The purpose of …

Background It has recently been reported that unilateral fatiguing exercise affects not only
the motor area innervating the exercising muscle but also the ipsilateral motor area …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies have demonstrated that unilateral muscle
contractions in the upper limb produce motor cortical activity in both the contralateral and …

The aim of this study was to investigate differences in neuromuscular function and
corticospinal excitability in response to sustained unilateral (UNIL) and bilateral (BIL) …

Reduced maximal force capability of skeletal muscle, as a consequence of exercise, can be
due to peripheral or central fatigue mechanisms. In upper-limb muscles, neuromuscular …
