DOI: 10.1088/1361-6579/ab4025
Abstract: Advances in surface electromyographic (EMG) signal decomposition allow researchers to analyze data for 20-50 motor units per contraction. To simplify interpretation, some investigators rely on group mean analysis of the mean firing rate versus recruitment… read more here.

DOI: 10.14283/jfa.2020.19
Abstract: Background Aging results in adaptations which may affect the control of motor units. Objective We sought to determine if younger and older men recruit motor units at similar force levels. Design Cross-sectional, between-subjects design. Setting… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2022.817631
Abstract: While neural changes are thought to be responsible for early increases in strength following resistance training (RT), the exact changes in motor unit (MU) firing properties remain unclear. This review aims to synthesize the available… read more here.
