Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is widely used in rehabilitation and athletic training to generate involuntary muscle contractions. However, EMS leads to rapid muscle fatigue, limiting the force a muscle can produce during prolonged use.

Exercise-induced respiratory muscle fatigue: implications for performance [PDF]
It is commonly held that the respiratory system has ample capacity relative to the demand for maximal O-2 and CO2 transport in healthy humans exercising near sea level.

Background: Muscle fatigue or the inability to maintain muscle strength is a protective mechanism to prevent muscle injury. Phototherapy or low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and therapeutic ultrasound are non-invasive and non-pharmacological forms of ...

Tumor Growth Increases Neuroinflammation, Fatigue and Depressive-like Behavior Prior to Alterations in Muscle Function [PDF]
Cancer patients frequently suffer from fatigue, a complex syndrome associated with loss of muscle mass, weakness, and depressed mood. Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) can be present at the time of diagnosis, during treatment, and persists for years after ...

Exercise intolerance and fatigue in chronic heart failure: is there a role for group III/IV afferent feedback? [PDF]
Exercise intolerance and early fatiguability are hallmark symptoms of chronic heart failure. While the malfunction of the heart is certainly the leading cause of chronic heart failure, the patho-physiological mechanisms of exercise intolerance in these ...

Effect of expiratory muscle fatigue on exercise tolerance and locomotor muscle fatigue in healthy humans [PDF]
High-intensity exercise (> or =90% of maximal O(2) uptake) sustained to the limit of tolerance elicits expiratory muscle fatigue (EMF). We asked whether prior EMF affects subsequent exercise tolerance.

Knee joint neuromuscular activation performance during muscle damage and superimposed fatigue [PDF]
This study examined the concurrent effects of exercise-induced muscle damage and superimposed acute fatigue on the neuromuscular activation performance of the knee flexors of nine males (age: 26.7 ± 6.1yrs; height 1.81 ± 0.05m; body mass 81.2 ± 11.7kg ...

Predictive model of the human muscle fatigue: application to repetitive push-pull tasks with light external load [PDF]
Repetitive tasks in industrial works may contribute to health problems among operators, such as musculo-skeletal disorders, in part due to insufficient control of muscle fatigue.
