Maturation-related changes in the development and etiology of neuromuscular fatigue.

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of maturation on the etiology of neuromuscular fatigue induced by repeated maximal voluntary isometric contractions (MVIC).

Methods: Nine prepubertal boys (9.9 ± 1.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of obesity on neuromuscular fatigue in adolescent girls.

Methods: Twelve lean (13.6 ± 0.

Insights into the Mechanisms of Neuromuscular Fatigue in Boys and Men.

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of central and peripheral factors in neuromuscular fatigue induced by repeated maximal contractions in children and adults.

Methods: Eleven boys (9.9 ± 1.

Effect of muscle length on voluntary activation level in children and adults.

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to compare the effect of muscle length on the level of voluntary activation (VA) at short and long muscle lengths between children and adults.

Methods: Thirteen prepubertal boys (10.2 ± 1.

Effect of eccentric isokinetic strengthening in the rehabilitation of patients with knee osteoarthritis: Isogo, a randomized trial.

Background: Femorotibial knee osteoarthritis is associated with muscle weakness in the lower limbs, particularly in the quadriceps, which results in disease progression. The interest of having muscular strengthening as part of the therapeutic arsenal for the medical treatment of knee osteoarthritis is now well established.The functional disability induced by knee osteoarthritis manifests itself principally when walking, notably downhill, during which the muscles are called upon to contract eccentrically.
