Analysis of Kinematic and Muscular Fatigue in Long-Distance Swimmers

Life, 2023
Muscle fatigue is a complex phenomenon that is influenced by the type of activity performed and often manifests as a decline in motor performance (mechanical failure).

Intermuscular Coordination in the Power Clean Exercise: Comparison between Olympic Weightlifters and Untrained Individuals—A Preliminary Study

Sensors, 2021
Muscle coordination in human movement has been assessed through muscle synergy analysis. In sports science, this procedure has been mainly applied to the comparison between highly trained and unexperienced participants.

Alteration of muscle activity during voluntary rehabilitation training with single-joint Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) in patients with shoulder elevation dysfunction from cervical origin

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
Shoulder elevation, defined here as arm raising, being essential for activities of daily living, dysfunctions represent a substantial burden in patients’ lives. Owing to the complexity of the shoulder joint, the tightly coordinated muscular activity is a

Muscle recruitment and coordination with an ankle exoskeleton [PDF]

Journal of Biomechanics, 2017
Exoskeletons have the potential to assist and augment human performance. Understanding how users adapt their movement and neuromuscular control in response to external assistance is important to inform the design of these devices. The aim of this research was to evaluate changes in muscle recruitment and coordination for ten unimpaired individuals ...

Optimization-Based Models of Muscle Coordination [PDF]

Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews, 2002
Optimization-based models may provide reasonably accurate estimates of activation and force patterns of individual muscles in selected well-learned tasks with submaximal efforts. Such optimization criteria as minimum energy expenditure, minimum muscle fatigue, and minimum sense of effort seem most promising.

Subject specific muscle synergies and mechanical output during cycling with arms or legs [PDF]

PeerJ, 2022
Background Upper (UL) and lower limb (LL) cycling is extensively used for several applications, especially for rehabilitation for which neuromuscular interactions between UL and LL have been shown. Nevertheless, the knowledge on the muscular coordination
