Negligible epimuscular myofascial force transmission between the human rectus femoris and vastus lateralis muscles in passive conditions
PurposeThere have been contradictory reports of the effects of epimuscular myofascial force transmission in humans. This study investigated the...

Peak fat oxidation is positively associated with vastus lateralis CD36 content, fed-state exercise fat oxidation, and endurance performance in trained males
PurposeWhole-body fat oxidation during exercise can be measured non-invasively during athlete profiling. Gaps in understanding exist in the...

Effects of continuous cycling training on motor unit firing rates, input excitation, and myosin heavy chain of the vastus lateralis in sedentary females
This study examined the effects of continuous endurance training on motor unit (MU) mean firing rates (MFR), percent myosin heavy chain (%MHC)...
-
Endurance training alters motor unit activation strategies for the vastus lateralis, yet sex-related differences and relationships with muscle size remain
PurposeTo examine the effects of 10 weeks of endurance cycling training on mechanomyographic amplitude (MMG RMS )–torque relationships and muscle...

Single-session measures of quadriceps neuromuscular function are reliable in healthy females and unaffected by age
PurposeThis study aimed to determine the inter-session reliability of quadriceps neuromuscular function measurements in healthy young and older...
-
Force enhancement in the human vastus lateralis is muscle-length-dependent following stretch but not during stretch
PurposeForce enhancement is the phenomenon of increased forces during (transient force enhancement; tFE) and after (residual force enhancement; rFE)...

Durability of the moderate-to-heavy-intensity transition is related to the effects of prolonged exercise on severe-intensity performance
PurposePower output at the moderate-to-heavy-intensity transition decreases during prolonged exercise, and resilience to this has been termed...

Skeletal muscle proteins involved in fatty acid transport influence fatty acid oxidation rates observed during exercise
Several proteins are implicated in transmembrane fatty acid transport. The purpose of this study was to quantify the variation in fatty acid...

Longitudinal development of muscle strength and relationship with motor unit activity and muscle morphological characteristics in youth athletes
Neural and morphological adaptations determine gains of muscle strength. For youth athletes, the importance of morphological adaptation is typically...

Exacerbated central fatigue and reduced exercise capacity in early-stage breast cancer patients treated with chemotherapy
PurposeThe present study aimed to characterize the etiology of exercise-induced neuromuscular fatigue and its consequences on the force-duration...
-
Resistance training-induced changes in muscle proteolysis and extracellular matrix remodeling biomarkers in the untrained and trained states
PurposeResistance training (RT) induces muscle growth at varying rates across RT phases, and evidence suggests that the muscle-molecular responses to...
-
Locally applied heat stress during exercise training may promote adaptations to mitochondrial enzyme activities in skeletal muscle
There is some evidence for temperature-dependent stimulation of mitochondrial biogenesis; however, the role of elevated muscle temperature during...
-
Effect of applied cadence in repeated sprint cycling on muscle characteristics
PurposeThis study aimed to investigate physiological responses, muscle–tendon unit properties of the quadriceps muscle, and mechanical performance...

Robust arm and leg muscle adaptation to training despite ACE inhibition: a randomized placebo-controlled trial
PurposeAngiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor treatment is widely applied, but the fact that plasma ACE activity is a potential determinant of...
-
Hemodynamic and neuromuscular basis of reduced exercise capacity in patients with end-stage renal disease
PurposeThe present study aimed to characterize the exercise-induced neuromuscular fatigue and its possible links with cerebral and muscular oxygen...

Reliability of transcranial magnetic stimulation-evoked responses on knee extensor muscles during cycling
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) measures the excitability and inhibition of corticomotor networks. Despite its task-specificity, few studies...
-
Eight weeks of resistance training increases strength, muscle cross-sectional area and motor unit size, but does not alter firing rates in the vastus lateralis
PurposePrevious investigations analyzing resistance training’s influence on motor unit (MU) firing rates have yielded mixed results. These mixed...
