Imposed expiratory resistance, dynamic hyperinflation and locomotor power and fatigue

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Expiratory flow limitation results in dynamic hyperinflation, dyspnoea and premature exercise intolerance. We aimed to measure whether expiratory resistance reduces locomotor power via limiting maximal voluntary motor activity, exacerbating muscle fatigue, or both.

Isometric handgrip contraction increases tibialis anterior intrinsic motoneuron excitability in a dose‐dependent manner

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The contribution of persistent inward currents (PICs) to motoneuron firing in the lower limb typically increases after a remote handgrip contraction, believed to result from diffuse serotonergic input increases in spinal cord. We investigated whether handgrip contraction intensity, duration and/or impulse would affect PIC estimates in tibialis

Changes in motor unit conduction velocity after unilateral lower‐limb suspension and active recovery are correlated with muscle ion channel gene expression

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The effects of muscle disuse on the propagation of action potentials along motor unit (MU) muscle fibres, a key process for effective muscle activation and force generation, remain poorly understood. The aim of this study was to investigate changes in action potential propagation and to identify biological factors influencing these changes ...

How do physiological networks respond to normobaric hypoxia and isometric exercise?

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The dynamics of physiological systems are impacted by both exercise and hypoxia. Network models can be used to map the interactions between various physiological components in environmental physiology and exercise using the concepts of information theory.

Corticospinal, reticulospinal and motoneuronal contributions to fatigability during a sustained contraction of the elbow flexors

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Synaptic input to the motoneuron pool is altered during fatiguing muscle contractions. In humans, the corticospinal tract is often studied, with equivocal findings regarding its role in the reduction of force. To date, the involvement of the reticulospinal tract during states of fatigue has not been explored.

Changes in corticospinal excitability in response to mediolateral gait instability

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Unpredictable gait disturbances, particularly in the mediolateral direction, pose a significant challenge to stability and are a common contributor to falls. Although the corticospinal tract is critical for gait and postural control, its response to such instabilities remains unclear.
