1. Voluntary activation of elbow flexor muscles can be optimal during brief maximal voluntary
contractions (MVCs), although central fatigue, a progressive decline in the ability to drive …

1. The excitability of the motor cortex was investigated during fatiguing con of the elbow flexors
in human subjects. During sustained contractions at 30 and 1 voluntary force (MVC), the …

Fatigue is a reduction of maximal muscle force or power that occurs with exercise. It is
accompanied by changes at multiple levels in the motor pathway and also by changes in the …

Responses to transcranial magnetic stimulation in human subjects (n = 9) were studied
during series of intermittent isometric maximal voluntary contractions (MVCs) of the elbow. …

Fatigue is increased during hyperthermia, and torque declines more rapidly in sustained
maximal voluntary contractions (MVCs). This can be caused by a greater decline in voluntary …

1 The involvement of the motor cortex during human walking was evaluated using transcranial
magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the motor cortex at a variety of intensities. Recordings of …

Young women are less fatigable than young men for maximal and submaximal contractions,
but the contribution of supraspinal fatigue to the sex difference is not known. This study …

The responsiveness of the human central nervous system can change profoundly with
exercise, injury, disuse, or disease. Changes occur at both cortical and spinal levels but in most …

Question Do strengthening interventions increase strength without increasing spasticity and
improve activity, and is there any carryover after cessation in children and adolescents with …

The role of group III and IV muscle afferents in controlling the output from human muscles is
poorly understood. We investigated the effects of these afferents from homonymous or …
