Aging is a multi-factorial process that ultimately induces a decline in our physiological
functioning, causing a decreased health-span, quality of life and independence for older …

We systematically reviewed existing literature regarding lower extremity neuromuscular rate
of force development (RFD), maximal muscle strength (Fmax), and physical function in …

Background and Purpose: Adequate lower limb strength and motor control are essential for
mobility and quality of life. People with Parkinson disease (PD) experience a significant and …

Abstract Hart, CEF and Tracy, BL. Yoga as steadiness training: effects on motor variability in
young adults. J Strength Cond Res 22 (5): 1659-1669, 2008-Exercise training programs can …

Age-related impairments in motor performance are caused by a deterioration in mechanical
and neuromuscular functions, which have been investigated from the macro-level of muscle …

The variability of force is indicative of the biological variability inherent in the human motor
system. Previous literature showed inconsistent findings of the effect of age on the variability …

Introduction: In this study we investigated the effect of knee position on quadriceps force
steadiness and activation strategies. Methods: Quadriceps force steadiness was evaluated …

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the capacity of an expanded set of force
steadiness tasks to explain the variance in the time it takes young men and women to …

During voluntary muscle contractions, force output is characterized by constant inherent
fluctuations, which can be quantified either according to their magnitude or temporal …

Neuromuscular noise is a determining factor in the control of isometric force steadiness (FS),
quantified as coefficient of variation (CV) of force around a preestablished target output. In …
