Comparing fatigue induced by isometric and shortening contractions in skeletal muscle
… causing greater fatigue-induced reduction in force during shortening compared with isometric contractions is not completely understood. The focus of this thesis was to compare fatigue in repeated shortening contractions and isometric contractions and investigate if greater force loss during …

Neuromuscular factors contributing to reductions in muscle force after repeated, high-intensity muscular efforts
… can accumulate sufficiently to limit muscular force production during repeated, forceful muscle contractions, including those that occur in the occupational, clinical and athletic settings. Fatigue during such efforts is likely to result from disturbances to multiple processes in the nervous …

The Effect of AICAR Treatment on Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Function and Possible Links to Skeletal Muscle Fatigue
… muscle groups are shutting down and muscle force production cannot continue. More specifically, muscle fatigue is defined as an activity-induced inability to continue to produce a desired level of force. Several groups suggest that a major cause of force loss during fatigue is reductions in …

What are the experiences of caring for a loved one with a chronic condition?
… pain as a personal, independent and malignant force; loss and growth in the relationship; and controlling ones awareness as a means of controlling the impact pain. The first two themes are already documented in the qualitative pain literature and therefore were not discussed in the research …

The effect of reproductive hormones on muscle function in young and middle-aged females.
… hormones, and accompanied by a significant loss of bone mass. This bone loss is accelerated within the first five years post-menopause. Muscle strength at this time would have important clinical implications for correcting imbalance and preventing falls. The aim of the studies within this …

Evaluation of the residual prestress force in aged railway concrete sleepers considered for reuse
… steel and, critically, the remaining prestress force, which is crucial for the flexural strength. To address this gap, a study was conducted to determine the prestressing force of concrete sleepers post-design life using the dynamic relaxation method. The study involved sampling 21 P2 concrete …

Force And Electromyographic Responses To Ergometer Rowing
… movement technique. The ability to produce high force outputs during repetitive contractions is influenced by fatigue and dependent on a number of factors including neuromuscular activities. Neuromuscular activation may be expressed by amplitude and frequency characteristics of the …

Effect of a neuromuscular electrical stimulation muscle strength training intervention on muscle force and mass, physical health and quality of life in people with spinal cord injury
… over 2 s) on the peak muscular (knee extensor) force and total impulse elicited by, and rate of recovery from, the intervention in healthy subjects (Study 1) and in people with chronic SCI (Study 2). The results of Study 1 revealed that superimposing tendon vibration onto wide-pulse width NMES …

TRANSLATIONAL APPROACH TO NEUROMUSCULAR FUNCTION AND ITS RECOVERY: EFFECT OF LIMBS, AGING, AND DISEASE.
… but there is a lack of information about muscle force loss and recovery following dynamic multi-joint exercise involving elbow flexors and knee extensors. The aim of the first study was to evaluate the magnitude and etiology of neuromuscular function changes in elbow flexors and knee extensors …
