Neuromuscular generation and control of force output in humans

这项研究计划的重点是确定影响人类肌肉力量产生和控制的关键因素。通过使用综合系统水平的方法，主要目标是继续提供这一领域的重要信息，既适用于基本系统生理学，也适用于应用生理学。核心技术允许重点关注在运动的产生和自愿控制期间中枢神经驱动和肌肉收缩特征之间的相互关系。人体模型为推进这一领域的知识提供了几个重要机会。参与者可以完成各种必要的任务，这些任务反映了依赖于整个整合系统中有效的肌肉力量产生和控制的正常活动。这些评估包括从运动皮质、脊髓和周围神经系统到骨骼肌的内在特性(包括数量(解剖学)和质量(生理学))的不同水平的评估。

This research program has had a focus on determining key factors affecting the generation and control of muscle force in humans. By using an integrative systems level approach the primary objective is to continue to provide important information in this field that is applicable to both fundamental systems physiology and applied physiology. Core techniques permit a focus on the interrelationship between central neural drive and muscle contractile characteristics during the generation and voluntary control of movement. The human model offers several important opportunities for advancing knowledge in this area. Participants can comply with various requisite tasks that reflect normal activities that are dependent on effective muscle force generation and control in the integrated whole system. These include assessing the system at various levels from the motor cortex, spinal cord and peripheral nervous system to intrinsic properties of skeletal muscle including quantity (anatomy) and quality (physiology).
