Abstract Alpha band oscillations in shared synaptic inputs to the alpha motor neuron pool can be considered an involuntary source of noise that hinders precise voluntary force production. This study investigated impact changing muscle length on spinal neurons, particularly physiological tremor band. Fourteen healthy individuals performed low‐level dorsiflexion contractions at ankle joint angles 90° and 130°, while high‐density surface electromyography (HDsEMG) was recorded from tibialis...
It is widely accepted that athletic performance emerges from a complex interaction between physical and cognitive features. Several studies highlighted self-efficacy (SE) in the domain of performance, but no have correlated SE with sport-specific tasks. According to Bandura, this study explored its relationship self-prediction (SP), self-perception (PSJ), actual squat jump (SJ). Thirty-nine healthy collegiate students were assessed using an questionnaire, SP measurement tool, validated...
Muscle-tendon length can influence central and peripheral motor unit (MU) characteristics, but their interplay is unknown. This study aims to explain the effect of muscle on MU firing contractile properties by applying deconvolution high-density surface EMG (HDEMG), torque signals same MUs followed at different lengths during voluntary contractions.Fourteen participants performed isometric ankle dorsiflexion 10% 20% maximal (MVC) short, optimal, long (90°, 110°, 130° angles, respectively)....
Neuromuscular fatigue could negatively affect postural balance, but its effects on dynamic regulation are still debated. This study aimed to investigate whether a protocol calf muscle activation strategies and balance performance. Seventeen male adults (age 24.1 ± 4.6 years; height 183.9 7.2 cm; weight 80.2 kg) volunteered in the study. They performed test an instrumented platform, which provided anterior-posterior oscillations sagittal plane, before after localized protocol. High-density...
The acquisition of a motor skill involves adaptations spinal and supraspinal pathways to alpha motoneurons. In this study, we estimated the shared synaptic contributions these understand neural mechanisms underlying short-term new force-matching task. High-density surface electromyography (HDsEMG) was acquired from first dorsal interosseous (FDI; 7 males 6 females) tibialis anterior (TA; 4 during 15 trials an isometric For two selected (pre- post-skill acquisition), decomposed HDsEMG into...
During alternate movements across a joint, the changeover from one direction of rotation to opposite may be influenced by delay and rate tension reduction compliance re-lengthening previously active muscle group. Given aging process affect above-mentioned factors, this work aimed compare dynamics both ankle torque decline re-lengthening, mirrored mechanomyogram (MMG), in tibialis anterior because its important role gait.During relaxation phase, after supramaximal 35 Hz stimulation applied at...
Abstract Purpose Despite compression garments (CG) having acquired significant attention in the sports field, there remains ongoing debate regarding their actual effectiveness enhancing athletic performance and expediting post-exercise recovery. This article delves into various aspects, with a focus on CG design materials they are made of, aiming to analyze importance of personalized strategies based individual anthropometric measurements non-linear designs. Methods Through analysis 40...
This study examines four tracks (Ts) suitable for handbikes (HBs) in the urban area of Brescia, Italy. WHO physical activity (PA) recommendations challenge kinesiologists to find opportunities promote exercise context using HBs. aims characterize T features, assess demands HB cycling, and use Track length, elevation changes, slope, ascent sections were analyzed. Participants’ physiological engagement during cycling was measured. The data gathered specialized equipment including a...
Patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) following severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection may have muscle weakness up 1 year or more ICU discharge. However, females show greater than males, indicating neuromuscular impairment. The objective of this work was assess sex differences in longitudinal physical functioning discharge for SARS-CoV-2 infection.We performed assessment two groups: 14 participants (7 7 females) 3-to-6 month and 28 (14 6-to-12 group assessed...
Introduction Long-term weakness is common in survivors of COVID-19-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (CARDS). We longitudinally assessed the predictors muscle patients evaluated 6 and 12 months after intensive care unit discharge with in-person visits. Methods Muscle strength was measured by isometric maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) tibialis anterior muscle. Candidate were follow-up time, sex, age, mechanical ventilation duration, use steroids unit, compound action potential...
