Exercise for endurance and strength:Always separate? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Physical training can be classified into three main types: endurance, resistance, and patterned movements. The first two of them have a significant impact on muscle phenotype and metabolism while patterned movement exercises concern changes in a motor ...

Does mental exertion alter maximal muscle activation?

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
Mental exertion is known to impair endurance performance, but its effects on neuromuscular function remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that mental exertion reduces torque and muscle activation during intermittent maximal

Relationship between muscle metabolic rate and muscle torque complexity during fatiguing intermittent isometric contractions in humans

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, 2019
To test the hypothesis that a system’s metabolic rate and the complexity of fluctuations in the output of that system are related, thirteen healthy participants performed intermittent isometric knee extensor contractions at intensities where a rise in ...
