Group 3 (n = 7) had variable effects on EHT contraction including prolongation of contraction time T1 (haloperidol, sertindole, diphenhydramine, and mefloquine), shortening of T2 (terfenadine) and a decrease in force (verapamil and astemizole).
Together with a significant reduction in pain perception after cervical mobilization, a clear tendency toward normalization of the force curve could be observed, namely, a significant decrease in force generation and a delayed onset.
The final level of tension achieved by the denervated muscle, represents the equilibrium, between decrease in force due to atrophy and necrosis due to regeneration [ 25].
Hip Protectors A and B showed the greatest decrease in ability to protect, with a 97% and 83% decrease in force reduction ability, respectively, between impacts 1 and 3, but still stayed below the fracture threshold.
NAC inhibits the increase in oxidative stress and proteolysis and reduces the decrease in force generating capacity of the diaphragm.
Contralateral muscles from β2KO mice showed a 17% decrease in absolute force and a 29% decrease in specific force, when compared to those from WT mice (P ≤ 0.05, Fig. 9).
For example, 12 h of CMV resulted in a decrease in force generation, promoted diaphragm fiber atrophy, and increased transcription of the muscle-specific E3-ligases MuRF1 and MaFbx in the diaphragm [5].
Nybo and Nielsen 19 initially showed that force production and VA progressively decrease during a sustained (120 s) MVC of the KE following exhaustive cycling in the heat, whereas the decrease in force production is significantly less pronounced and VA remains elevated after exercise in cool conditions.
Fatigability of the muscles was measured by calculating the percentage decrease in force between the start of stimulation (F0s) and the end of stimulation (F300s).
