Abstract

The present study was designed to compare the relative influence of various fatigue-related factors involved in isometric and dynamic task failure following an equivalent decrease in isometric maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) torque. Using a similar duty cycle (~1-s contraction per 2 s) and contraction load (50% of MVC), 9 young males performed in the dorsiflexors a dynamic task, and on a separate occasion an intermittent isometric task, to an equal decrease in isometric MVC torque. Dynamic contractions had greater motor unit activation and maximum rate of torque development, and required fewer contractions to task failure than the isometric task, indicating a faster development of fatigue during the velocity-dependent dynamic contractions. Peripheral factors, rather than impairments in voluntary drive, were responsible for the equivalent decrease in MVC torque at task failure and its subsequent incomplete recovery. These included, for both tasks, similar changes during fatigue and recovery in voluntary isometric MVC torque, shortening velocity, stimulated twitch and 50 Hz torque, and 50 Hz maximum rate of relaxation. Irrespective of the task, however, the greater reduction in shortening velocity at task failure and its subs...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.
