Flexor hallucis brevis motor unit behavior in response to moderate increases in rate of force development. [PDF]
Background: Studies on motor unit behaviour with varying rates of force development have focussed predominantly on comparisons between slow and ballistic (i.e., very fast) contractions.

Neural and muscular determinants of maximal rate of force development [PDF]
The ability to produce rapid forces requires quick motor unit recruitment, high motor unit discharge rates, and fast motor unit force twitches. The relative importance of these parameters for maximum rate of force development (RFD), however, is poorly understood.

Rate of force development and the lateralized readiness potential [PDF]
We examined the relationship between force and rate of force development aspects of movement dynamics and electroencephalogram motor components as reflected in the lateralized readiness potential (LRP). Using self‐paced tasks, in Studies 1 and 3 we investigated whether differential speed and accuracy constraints in discrete and repetitive finger force ...

The Influence of Instruction on Isometric Mid-Thigh Pull Force-Time Variables
Purpose: The isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) is commonly used to assess maximal and rapid (i.e., explosive) strength in athlete populations. The conventional IMTP instruction is to pull “as hard and fast as possible” (CON).

Comparison of drop jump force-time profiles of team sport athletes and active controls
Aim: Lower-body non-contact injuries in team sport athletes (TSAs) are associated when absorbing force, during cutting and landing movements due to a lack of eccentric strength and decreased neuromuscular control leading to excessively higher joint ...

Specific cerebellar regions are related to force amplitude and rate of force development [PDF]
The human cerebellum has been implicated in the control of a wide variety of motor control parameters, such as force amplitude, movement extent, and movement velocity. These parameters often covary in both movement and isometric force production tasks, so it is difficult to resolve whether specific regions of the cerebellum relate to specific ...

Rate of Force Development, Muscle Architecture, and Performance in Elite Weightlifters
Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between weightlifting performance and the rate of force development (RFD), muscle architecture, and body composition in elite Olympic weightlifters. Methods: Six male Olympic weightlifters (age 23.3 [3.4] y, body mass 88.7 [10.2] kg, body height 1.76 [0.07] m, snatch 146.7 ...
