Motor unit firing rates during slow and fast contractions in boys and men
BackgroundMotor unit (MU) activation during maximal contractions is lower in children compared with adults. Among adults, discrete MU activation...

The Cellular Basis for the Generation of Firing Patterns in Human Motor Units
Motor units, which comprise a motoneuron and the set of muscle fibers it innervates, are the fundamental neuromuscular transducers for all motor...

Different discrete motor-unit activation patterns in the flexor carpi radialis in boys and men
BackgroundLower activation of higher threshold (type-II) motor units (MUs) has been suggested in children compared with adults. We examined...

Quercetin ingestion modifies human motor unit firing patterns and muscle contractile properties
Quercetin is a polyphenolic flavonoid that has reported to block the binding of adenosine to A1 receptors at central nervous system and increase...

Motor unit-based synergies in a non-compartmentalized muscle
The concept of synergies has been used to address the grou** of motor elements contributing to a task with the covariation of these elements...

Temporal scaling of motor cortical dynamics reveals hierarchical control of vocal production
Neocortical activity is thought to mediate voluntary control over vocal production, but the underlying neural mechanisms remain unclear. In a highly...

No sex differences in time-to-task failure and neuromuscular patterns of response during submaximal, bilateral, isometric leg extensions
BackgroundIn general, it has been suggested that females are more fatigue-resistant than males, with the magnitude of difference being most...

Effect of nitrate supplementation on skeletal muscle motor unit activity during isometric blood flow restriction exercise
BackgroundNitrate (NO 3 − ) supplementation has been reported to lower motor unit (MU) firing rate (MUFR) during dynamic resistance exercise; however,...
