  1. The role of muscle strength and voluntary activation on symptomatic fatigue in multiple sclerosis

    Davidson, Shannon PThe University of Western Ontario2017

    … investigated the role of muscle strength and voluntary activation (VA) on symptomatic fatigue in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). Nine women with relapsing- remitting or secondary-progressive MS (mean age, 43yrs) were compared to nine healthy women (mean age, 37yrs). Symptomatic …

  2. The development and origin of muscle fatigue after hexagonal-barbell deadlift exercise of different loads and velocities: contributing to a knowledge-base for coaches to make evidence-informed decisions regarding athletic training programmes

    Collison, JayUniversity of Essex2017

    … exercise can be associated with alterations to voluntary muscle activation or contractile function. Recent literature has proposed terms of performance fatigability and perceived fatigability to better describe the broad interpretation of fatigue during human performance. Accordingly, …

  3. Central and peripheral determinants of fatigue in acute hypoxia

    Goodall, StuartBrunel University School of Sport and Education PhD Theses2011

    … as an exercise-induced decrease in maximal voluntary force produced by a muscle. Fatigue may arise from central and/or peripheral mechanisms. Supraspinal fatigue (a component of central fatigue) is defined as a suboptimal output from the motor cortex and measured using transcranial magnetic …

  4. The Role of Dopamine on Central Neuromuscular Activation during Passive Hyperthermia

    Scholey, AidenBrock University2021

    … is that MPH intake was enhancing neuromuscular activation. Thus, this research project examined the influence of MPH on neuromuscular activation during hyperthermia. Participants ingested either placebo (PLA; 20mg) or MPH (Ritalin; 20mg) 1 hour prior to a passive heating protocol. 6 participants …

The maximal voluntary activation (MVA) of quadriceps was recorded, using surface integrated electromyography, during straight leg isometric contractions before end after surgery. Post-operative inhibition was expressed as the percentage reduction from the …

The results showed that both maximal voluntary isometric force loss and decreases in evoked forces were not different between elbow flexors and knee extensors 1 min after task failure. However, 20 min after task failure, maximal voluntary isometric force, and low-frequency fatigue were …
