Resistance training is frequently performed with the goal of stimulating muscle hypertrophy.
Due to the key roles motor unit recruitment and mechanical tension play to induce muscle …

Even for a stereotyped task, sensorimotor behavior is generally variable due to noise,
redundancy, adaptability, learning or plasticity. The sources and significance of different …

There is a growing interest in decomposing high-density surface electromyography
(HDsEMG) into motor unit spike trains to improve knowledge on the neural control of muscle …

This study aimed to determine whether neural drive is redistributed between muscles during
a fatiguing isometric contraction, and if so, whether the initial level of common synaptic input …

Modulation of movement velocity is necessary during daily life tasks, work, and sports
activities. However, assessing motor unit behavior during muscle shortening and …

Movements are reportedly controlled through the combination of synergies that generate
specific motor outputs by imposing an activation pattern on a group of muscles. To date, the …

This cross-sectional study aims to elucidate the neural mechanisms underlying the control of
knee extension forces in individuals with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) …

The aim of the present study was to analyse the role of exercises' resistance profile in
regional hypertrophy. Thirty-eight healthy women completed a 9-week resistance training …

Background Estrogen and progesterone are the primary female sex hormones and have net
excitatory and inhibitory effects, respectively, on neuronal function. Fluctuating …

Purpose The force–velocity relationship of muscular contraction has been extensively
studied. However, previous research has focussed either on isolated muscle or single-joint …
