Abstract High-Density surface Electromyography (HD-sEMG) is the most established
technique for the non-invasive analysis of single motor unit (MU) activity in humans. It …

Resistance training is frequently performed with the goal of stimulating muscle hypertrophy.
Due to the key roles motor unit recruitment and mechanical tension play to induce muscle …

Purpose This study aimed to non-invasively test the hypothesis that (a) short-term lower limb
unloading would induce changes in the neural control of force production (based on motor …

Objective. High-density surface electromyography (HD-sEMG) allows the reliable
identification of individual motor unit (MU) action potentials. Despite the accuracy in …

• The rate of force development of human individuals varies greatly across contractions and
muscles.• Here we hypothesize that the rate of motor unit recruitment dictates the inter …

Resistance training (RT) triggers diverse morphological and physiological adaptations that
are broadly considered beneficial for performance enhancement as well as injury risk …

Because of the biophysical relation between muscle fibre diameter and the propagation
velocity of action potentials along the muscle fibres, motor unit conduction velocity could be …

The firing properties of the motor units are usually affected by the motor task. However, it has
not been clarified whether the firing properties of the motor units of a specific muscle are …

Neural and morphological adaptations determine gains of muscle strength. For youth
athletes, the importance of morphological adaptation is typically highlighted based on the …

Introduction Early increases in muscle strength following unilateral resistance training are
typically accompanied by strength gains in the contralateral untrained muscles, a …
