Effect of Muscle-Tendon Unit Length on Child-Adult Difference in Neuromuscular Fatigue

Purpose The purpose of this study was to compare the development and etiology of neuromuscular fatigue of the knee extensor muscles at different muscle-tendon unit (MTU) lengths during repeated maximal voluntary isometric contractions (MVIC) between …

Child-adult differences in neuromuscular fatigue are muscle dependent

The aim of the present study was t.compare the development and etiology of neuromuscular fatigue of the knee extensor (KE) and plantar flexor (PF) muscles during repeated maximal voluntary isometric contractions (MVICs) between children and adults. …

Faster pulmonary oxygen uptake kinetics in children vs adults due to enhancements in oxygen delivery and extraction

This study aimed to examine if the faster pulmonary oxygen uptake (VO2p) phase 2 in children could be explained by increased O 2 availability or extraction at the muscle level. For that purpose, O 2 availability and extraction were assessed using …
