Quadriceps femoris torque and EMG activity in seated versus supine position

Article Abstract:

Research demonstrates that changes in rectus femoris induced by hip angle movements impact the knee extensor torque output during voluntary and electrically evoked contractions. Data show a higher knee extensor muscles neural activation in the seated versus supine position may be a compensating measure for the neuromuscular transmission-propagation impairment of short rectus femoris muscle.

Central and peripheral fatigue after electrostimulation-induced resistance exercise

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted to investigate central and peripheral fatigue induced by a typical session of electromyostimulation (EMS) of the triceps surae muscle. Conclusions reveal that a single bout of EMS resulted in fatigue attributable to both central and peripheral factors.

Effect of cycling cadence on contractile and neural properties of knee extensors

Article Abstract:

This article investigates the physiological aspects of cycling on the neuromuscular characteristics of the knee. An analysis of muscle fatigue, muscular torque, and isometric twitch is presented.
