To determine the maximal voluntary contraction (MVC), three maximal contractions of 5 seconds were performed with 120 seconds rest time between each effort.

14 After practicing stable isometric contraction efforts, single maximal contractions of each muscle were recorded according to Daniels and Worthingham's Muscle Testing.

Figures 2(a) to 2(f) show facial distances measured after the movements caused by maximal contractions of 6 selected facial muscles: frontalis), corrugator), orbicularis oculi), zygomaticus), orbiculari oris), and buccinator).

In conclusion, the case-control study showed that women with trapezius myalgia have lower strength-endurance capacity during repetitive maximal contractions of the trapezius muscle compared with healthy controls, along with lower muscle activity (EMG amplitude).

The main findings of the present study were (1) that women with trapezius myalgia showed reduced force capacity during repetitive maximal contractions of the trapezius muscle compared with healthy controls (case-control study) and (2) that 10 weeks of high-intensity specific strength training led to improved force capacity of the trapezius muscle in women with trapezius myalgia.

It is indicated that contractions in which torque needs to be developed as forcefully and rapidly as possible require higher levels of neural activation compared with maximal contractions of several seconds or longer (de Ruiter et al. 2004; Duchateau 1995; de Boer et al. 2007; Kubo et al. 2000; Bamman et al. 1998).

In this case the entropy of the eigenvalues is minimal (close to 0), consequently S is close to 1, meaning maximal contraction of the embedding dimension, and thus strong synchronization.

Alternatively, when all the normalized eigenvalues are roughly 0 and only few of them are appreciably nonzero (minimal dispersion), only few state-space dimensions are visited; in this case the entropy of the eigenvalues is minimal (close to 0), consequently S is close to 1, meaning maximal contraction of the embedding dimension, namely strong synchronization.

(6) Finally, PSS was changed to KPSS and, after reaching the contraction plateau, NE (10  μmol/L) was added and the maximal contraction of the artery was recorded.
