Sustained physical exercise leads to a reduced capacity to produce voluntary force that
typically outlasts the exercise bout. This “fatigue” can be due both to impaired muscle …

Magnetic and electrical stimulation at different levels of the neuraxis show that supraspinal
and spinal factors limit force production in maximal isometric efforts (“central fatigue”). In …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to test the hypotheses that prolonged mental exertion i)
reduces maximal muscle activation and ii) increases the extent of central fatigue induced by …

Neuromuscular fatigue has traditionally been examined using isolated forms of either
isometric, concentric or eccentric actions. However, none of these actions are naturally …

We investigated the physiological consequences of one of the most extreme exercises
realized by humans in race conditions: a 166-km mountain ultra-marathon (MUM) with 9500 …

Purpose: Few studies have assessed neuromuscular fatigue after self-paced locomotor
exercise; moreover, none have assessed the degree of supraspinal fatigue. This study …

While the industrialized world adopts a largely sedentary lifestyle, ultra-marathon running
races have become increasingly popular in the last few years in many countries. The ability …

Key points In this study we describe the time course of fatigue development during and after
an intense bout of self‐paced, high‐intensity dynamic exercise using various electrical …

Metabolic cost of submaximal running at constant speed is influenced by various factors
including fatigue and kinematic characteristics. Metabolic costs typically drift upwards during …

Purpose: To examine the acute and short-term responses of variables obtained during a
single countermovement jump (CMJ1); repeated countermovement jump involving 5 …
