Predicting the effect of muscle length on fatigue during electrical stimulation.

29 Sep 2009 Mathematical models have been developed to predict fatigue during functional electrical stimulation, but the predictive accuracy at different muscle lengths is unknown. The objectives of our study were to: (1) experimentally determine the ... Read more...

Changes in the mechanical properties of human quadriceps muscle after eccentric exercise.

30 Aug 2009 Muscular adaptation which occurs following eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage has been associated with changes in the mechanical properties of muscle manifested as a shift in the length-tension relationship towards longer muscle lengths. ... Read more...

[Randomized controlled trials on the influence and mechanism of manipulation on delayed onset muscle soreness after eccentric exercise]

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: To observe and compare the influence of pre- and post-exercise manipulation and natural recovery without any intervention on delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) after eccentric exercise and to explore the manipulation therapeutic ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Muscle Fatigue'

Definition: A state arrived at through prolonged and strong contraction of a muscle. Studies in athletes during prolonged submaximal exercise have shown that muscle fatigue increases in almost direct proportion to the rate of muscle glycogen depletion. Muscle fatigue in short-term maximal exercise is associated with oxygen lack and an increased level of blood and muscle lactic acid, and an accompanying increase in hydrogen-ion concentration in the exercised muscle.
