Age-related changes in the basic functional unit of the neuromuscular system, the motor unit,
and its neural inputs have a profound effect on motor function, especially among the …

Lack of neural innervation due to neurological damage renders muscle unable to produce
force. Use of electrical stimulation is a medium in which investigators have tried to find a way …

Drawing on the disciplines of neurophysiology and physics, Neuromechanics of Human
Movement, Fourth Edition, explores how the nervous system controls the actions of muscles …

Physical exercise affects the equilibrium of the internal environment. During exercise the
contracting muscles generate force or power and heat. So physical exercise is in fact a form …

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 …

Muscle fatigue is a common experience in daily life. Many authors have defined it as the
incapacity to maintain the required or expected force, and therefore, force, power and torque …

Movement is accomplished by the controlled activation of motor unit populations. Our
understanding of motor unit physiology has been derived from experimental work on the …

Much of the previous research into understanding fatigue during prolonged cycling has
found that cycling performance may be limited by numerous physiological, biomechanical …

Skeletal Muscle: Form and Function, Second Edition, provides readers with a detailed
understanding of the different facets of muscle physiology. Meticulously researched and …

This brief review summarizes progress that has been made in the study of muscle fatigue
since a review published 15 years ago (Enoka RM, Stuart DG.. Neurobiology of muscle …
