Abstract: Abstract Neuromuscular properties decline with ageing and low-level physical activities. Alaska pollack protein (APP) is reportedly effective for improving skeletal muscular functions, even if the amount is small and exercise is not conducted. However, it… read more here.

Abstract: The purpose was to assess whether voluntary descending drive is obligatory to reduce maximal motor unit (MU) firing rates following high-intensity muscle fatiguing activation. Maximal MU firing rates were compared following a sustained 60s maximal… read more here.

Abstract: Intrinsic factors related to neuromuscular function are time-of-day dependent, but diurnal rhythms in neural and muscular components of the human neuromuscular system remain unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the time-of-day effects on neural… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0195051
Abstract: Exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) is associated with impaired muscle function and reduced neuromuscular recruitment. However, motor unit firing behaviour throughout the recovery period is unclear. EIMD impairment of maximal voluntary force (MVC) will, in part,… read more here.
