The term fatigue is used to describe a distressing and persistent symptom of physical and/or
mental tiredness in certain clinical populations, with distinct but ultimately complex …

Background Stretching a muscle not only increases the extensibility or range of motion
(ROM) of the stretched muscle or joint but there is growing evidence of increased ROM of …

Background Flexibility is an important physical quality. Self-myofascial release (SMFR)
methods such as foam rolling (FR) increase flexibility acutely but how long such increases in …

Introduction Non-local muscle fatigue (NLMF) is characterized by muscle performance
impairments in a contralateral or remote non-exercised muscle (s) following a fatiguing …

During fatiguing upper limb exercise, maintained firing of group III/IV muscle afferents can
limit voluntary drive to muscles within the same limb. It is not known if this effect occurs in the …

Purpose There are conflicts in the literature concerning the crossover or non-local effects of
stretching. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether static (SS) and dynamic (DS) …

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 …

Nonlocal muscle fatigue occurs when fatiguing 1 muscle alters performance of another
rested muscle. The purpose of the study was to investigate if fatiguing 2 separate muscles …

Purpose Currently, cortical voluntary activation (VA TMS) is assessed by superimposing
transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) on a maximal voluntary contraction (MVC), 75 …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the foam rolling technique and
static stretching on perceptual and neuromuscular parameters following a bout of high …
