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 …

Physical performance fatigue can be ascribed to both peripheral and central components.
Central fatigue, however, is an elusive entity, consisting of cognitive/sensory component and …

Background Post-activation potentiation (PAP) describes the enhancement of twitch torque
following a conditioning contraction (CC) in skeletal muscle. In adults, PAP may be related to …

Aim: To profile the etiology and recovery time-course of neuromuscular function in response
to a mixed-content, standard training week in professional academy soccer players. We …

Introduction Children's maximal muscle strength is consistently lower than adults', even
when normalized to body size. Lower volitional muscle activation (VA) in children is often …

In recent years, running has dramatically increased in children and adolescents, creating a
need for a better understanding of running gait in this population; however, research on this …

Purpose This study tested the hypothesis that prepubertal boys, but not untrained men,
would exhibit a similar post-exercise parasympathetic reactivation as well-trained adult male …

Children with hematologic and oncologic health conditions are at risk of impaired skeletal
muscle strength, size, and neuromuscular activation that may limit gross motor performance …

Purpose The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of maturation on the
etiology of neuromuscular fatigue induced by repeated maximal voluntary isometric …

Abstract Background Maximal conditioning contractions (CCs) can lead to the enhancement
of evoked-twitch characteristics in human skeletal muscle. This phenomenon is termed post …
