Isometric training is used in the rehabilitation and physical preparation of athletes, special
populations, and the general public. However, little consensus exists regarding training …

Much is known about the physiological impairments that can cause muscle fatigue. It is
known that fatigue can be caused by many different mechanisms, ranging from the …

Skeletal muscle fatigue is defined as the fall of force or power in response to contractile
activity. Both the mechanisms of fatigue and the modes used to elicit it vary tremendously …

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 …

Despite 100years of research since the seminal work of Angelo Mosso (1846–1910), our
understanding of the interactions between the nervous system and muscle during the …

Advances in technology have ushered in a new era in the measurement and interpretation
of surface-recorded electromyographic (EMG) signals. These developments have included …

The manual muscle test (MMT) is a flexible diagnostic tool, which is used in many
disciplines, applied in several ways. The main problem is the subjectivity of the test. The …

Static task intensity–endurance time (ET) relationships (eg Rohmert's curve) were first
reported decades ago. However, a comprehensive meta-analysis to compare …

The effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on maximal voluntary isometric
contraction (MVC) strength and the time to failure (TTF) in an isometric (30% MVC) muscle …

Background In isometric muscle function, there are subjectively two different modes of
performance: one can either hold isometrically–thus resist an impacting force–or push …
