Torque Regularity is not Affected by the Nature of Visual Feedback During Hold Type of Isometric Contractions in Adults.

The literature that investigated the influence of visual feedback properties on the magnitude and temporal structure of variability suggests that increases in the precision of visual information of the torque output (through manipulation of visual gain and its intermittency) lead the neuromuscular system to produce torque in a more steady and complex manner. However, less is known about the influence of the nature of visual feedback on torque variability. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of two different feedback natures, one from the angular position and the other from the torque produced, on the magnitude and temporal structure of torque variability during submaximal hold isometric tasks.

Effect of sleep deprivation on gait complexity.

Gait complexity is considered an indicator of adaptability, reflecting the complex interaction between multiple components of the neuromuscular system. Previous research provided evidence that chronobiology, which reflects the individual expression of circadian rhythms, affects the regulation of gait dynamics. The literature also suggests the disruption of these circadian rhythms affects multiple human physiological systems.
