Spinal and supraspinal factors in human muscle fatigue

SC Gandevia - Physiological reviews, 2001 - journals.physiology.org
Muscle fatigue is an exercise-induced reduction in maximal voluntary muscle force. It may
arise not only because of peripheral changes at the level of the muscle, but also because …

Golgi tendon organs in mammalian skeletal muscle: functional properties and central actions

L Jami - Physiological reviews, 1992 - journals.physiology.org
Golgi tendon organs are contraction-sensitive mechanoreceptors of mammalian skeletal
