Journal ArticleDOI
Tracking motor units longitudinally across experimental sessions with high-density surface electromyography.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new processing method to track the same motor units across experimental sessions (separated by weeks) by using high-density surface electromyography.
Journal ArticleDOI
Motor Neuron Pools of Synergistic Thigh Muscles Share Most of Their Synaptic Input
TL;DR: The results showed that the majority of neural drive to the vasti muscles was a cross-muscle drive characterized by a force-dependent strength and bandwidth, which supports the notion that synergistically activated muscles share most of their neural drive.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface EMG amplitude does not identify differences in neural drive to synergistic muscles
Eduardo Martinez-Valdes,Eduardo Martinez-Valdes,Eduardo Martinez-Valdes,Francesco Negro,Deborah Falla,Alessandro Marco De Nunzio,Dario Farina +6 more
TL;DR: EMG amplitude, even following normalization, does not reflect the neural drive to synergistic muscles, and absolute EMG amplitude is mainly explained by the size of MU action potentials.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-density surface electromyography provides reliable estimates of motor unit behavior.
TL;DR: The results suggest that it is possible to characterize motor units in longitudinal intervention studies and motor unit features can be assessed non-invasively and reliably within and across sessions over a wide range of force levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential motor unit changes after endurance or high-intensity interval training.
TL;DR: For the first time, it is shown that HIIT and END induce specific neuromuscular adaptations, possibly related to differences in exercise load intensity and training volume.
