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。通过使用一个综合系统水平的方法，主要目标是继续提供重要的信息，在这一领域是适用于基础系统生理学和应用生理学。核心技术允许集中在运动的产生和自主控制过程中中枢神经驱动和肌肉收缩特性之间的相互关系。人体模型为推进这一领域的知识提供了几个重要的机会。参与者可以遵守反映正常活动的各种必要任务，这些活动依赖于集成的整个系统中的有效肌肉力量生成和控制。这些包括评估从运动皮层、脊髓和外周神经系统到骨骼肌内在特性的各个水平的系统，包括数量（解剖学）和质量（生理学）。

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).
