Neural aspects of human muscle fatigue

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Muscle fatigue is common after exercise in healthy people. In many tasks, some muscles become more fatigued than others. Thus, the nervous system must often coordinate fatigued muscles (which produce less force) with unfatigued muscles. We will investigate how fatigue of one muscle alters the way the brain controls other muscles that are engaged in the same task or in unrelated tasks. This will aid understanding of the failures of coordination that lead to poor performance and injury.
