In order to study muscular fatigue, a mathematical model allowing the simulation of changes of metabolites level and of force during exercise in human muscle is built. It results from the association of two previous models and from the introduction of two parameters (pH and ATP concentration) influencing directly the muscular force and of the fatigability parameter (A) which characterizes the oxidative capacity of a given fibre. Simulations of physiological conditions of exercise and recovery allow one to bring out a classification of muscular fibres in terms of the fatigability parameter. In addition, the study of successive exercises underlines the lactate level role in force generation. Computations have been carried out on a computer DPS 7.

Effect of fatigability on sprint time performance and force-velocity profile according to maturity status in young rugby players.

Little is known about the influence of fatigue in repeated overground sprinting on force-velocity properties in children and adolescents, while this ability to repeat sprints is important for future progress in rugby union. Sprint time decline is commonly used to assess fatigability. However, it does not provide data on biomechanical aspects of sprint performance such as maximal power, force, and velocity production.

Forty-five healthy and physically active males participated in two independent experiments. In experiment 1, after a graded exercise test, participants underwent constant work rate cycling efforts (CWR) at 115% of peak power output to assess neuromuscular function (Potentiated twitch) pre- and post-exercise.

Purpose: Undernutrition in children is a critical worldwide concern that hampers both their physical and cognitive growth. The nutritional status of school-going children and adolescents remains insufficiently addressed with no comprehensive data. This is the first study from the Himalayan foothills that aims to assess the clinical and laboratory aspects of anemia with micronutrient status in undernourished children above the age of five along with association of clinical features with anemia severity.

To assess the effect of voice therapy on pitch in professional singers with faulty respiratory kinematics. In this prospective interventional study, professional singers with easy voice fatigability and inability to reach higher pitches, following appropriate selection criteria, were subjected to a 1-month structured voice therapy that transformed their predominant breathing pattern from thoracic to diaphragmatic-abdominal. Acoustic parameters (pitch range and its extreme values before/after therapy, and difference in pitch range) were analyzed using Praat software and compared using standard statistical methods (paired -test).

Article Synopsis
- Dysphagia, a common symptom in patients with myasthenia gravis (MG), is linked to muscle weakness and a lack of coordination in swallowing and breathing.
- The study recorded breathing patterns and muscle activity during swallowing in 10 MG patients and 22 healthy controls, finding significant differences in their respiratory patterns.
- These findings suggest that monitoring breathing and muscle activity can effectively indicate the severity of swallowing difficulties in MG patients, particularly after treatment.
