Post-activation potentiation (PAP) is a well-described phenomenon with a short half-life (~
28 s) that enhances muscle force production at submaximal levels of calcium saturation (ie …

Background The fatigue of a muscle or muscle group can produce global responses to a
variety of systems (ie, cardiovascular, endocrine, and others). There are also reported …

The use of transcranial magnetic stimulation to assess the excitability of the central nervous
system to further understand the neural control of human movement is expansive. The …

Abstract Post-activation potentiation (PAP), described as a muscular phenomenon, refers to
the enhancement of contractile properties following a voluntary or electrically stimulated …

A prior conditioning resistance exercise can augment subsequent performance of the
affected muscles due to the effects of post-activation potentiation (PAP). The non-local …

The occurrence and mechanisms underlying non-local or crossover muscle fatigue is an
ongoing issue. This study aimed to investigate crossover fatigue of the plantar flexor …

Background: Prolonged static stretching (SS) has been shown to impair subsequent
performance of a stretched muscle. There is evidence that unilateral SS can have crossover …

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of shoulder position on corticospinal
excitability (CSE) of the biceps brachii during rest and a 10% maximal voluntary contraction …

Cold stress impairs fine and gross motor movements. Although peripheral effects of muscle
cooling on performance are well understood, less is known about central mechanisms. This …

The wrist extensors demonstrate an earlier fatigue onset than the wrist flexors. However, it is
currently unclear whether fatigue induces unique changes in muscle activity or corticospinal …
