Sentence examples for motor unit activation from inspiring English sources
The strategy of motor unit activation appears to use Henneman's size principle with motor units becoming active based on their size.
Finally, as the primary outcome measure of the present study was performance, future studies should include further mechanistic insights i.e. motor unit activation (twitch interpolation, electromyography).
Main Outcome Measures: Target measures were maximum voluntary contractions (MVCs), evoked peak torque, and percentage of motor unit activation for muscle strength and central drive.
Generally speaking, the results from these investigations have suggested that MMG frequency is related to the rate of motor unit activation and the contractile properties (contraction and relaxation times) of the muscle fibers.
We cannot exclude the possibility that the nonuniform motor unit activation within the muscle contributes to the intra- and inter-subject variations in V0 of electrically activated muscle observed in the present study.
As opposed to the requirement for high intensity contractions we posited that the total volume of contractions, independent of intensity, would result in full motor unit activation and muscle fibre recruitment and would be of equal or greater importance as intensity to the acute stimulation of muscle protein synthesis.
Hence, in patients after the meniscus injury, the deficit of muscle force emerging at a certain contraction velocity depends mainly on the percentage of slow- and fast-contracting motor units' activation [ 5].
Clinical techniques have been developed to study motor unit activity during muscle activation [ 11, 12].
Motor unit activity in the m.
This reduced parameter has been linked to excessive fat mass, which may reduce motor-unit activation and the ratio of muscle strength to units of muscle mass [8].
In the context of obesity, we also speculate that other factors such as reduced motor-unit activation [8], premature fatigue and reduced activation of type II muscle fibers [7] may affect the energy contribution profile.
