The etiology of changes in lower‐limb neuromuscular function, especially to the central
nervous system, may be affected by exercise duration. Direct evidence is lacking as few …

Purpose: The well-established central deficit in ultra-endurance running races is not
understood. The use of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in parallel with peripheral …

INTRODUCTION: Women have been shown to experience less neuromuscular fatigue than
men in knee extensors (KE) and less peripheral fatigue in plantar flexors (PF) after ultratrail …

Downhill sections are highly strenuous likely contributing to the development of
neuromuscular fatigue in trail running. Our purpose was to investigate the consequences of …

To determine the acute effects of a trail running competition and the age-dependent
differences between young and master athletes, 23 subjects [10 young (30.5±7 years), 13 …

New Findings What is the central question of this study? Are spinal and/or supraspinal
perturbations implicated in central fatigue induced in the plantar flexor muscles following …

The purpose of the study was to assess sex‐related differences in resting mechanical
properties and adaptations of skeletal muscles and tendons in response to trail running …

Minimizing musculo‐skeletal damage and fatigue is considered paramount for performance
in trail running. Our purposes were to investigate the effects of the foot strike pattern and its …

Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the acute changes in the knee extensors maximum
voluntary isometric contraction force (MVIC), rate of force development (RFD), and rate of …

Purpose: Fatigue has previously been investigated in trail running by comparing maximal
isometric force before and after the race. Isometric contractions may not entirely reflect …
