Journal ArticleDOI
Neural adaptations to resistive exercise: mechanisms and recommendations for training practices.
TL;DR: The last line of evidence presented involves the notion that unilateral resistive exercise of a specific limb will also result in training effects in the unexercised contralateral limb (cross-transfer or cross-education).
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective recruitment of high-threshold human motor units during voluntary isotonic lengthening of active muscles.
TL;DR: The possibility that voluntary muscle lengthening contractions can be performed by selective recruitment of fast‐twitch motor units, accompanied by derecruitment of slow‐ twitch motor units is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural adaptation to resistance training: changes in evoked V-wave and H-reflex responses
TL;DR: The present data suggest that the increase in motoneuronal output induced by resistance training may comprise both supraspinal and spinal adaptation mechanisms (i.e., increased central motor drive, elevated motoneuron excitability, reduced presynaptic inhibition).

TL;DR: Targeted spinal cord stimulation neurotechnologies that enabled voluntary control of walking in individuals who had sustained a spinal cord injury more than four years ago and presented with permanent motor deficits or complete paralysis despite extensive rehabilitation are introduced.

Amplitude modulation of the soleus H-reflex in the human during walking and standing
C Capaday,RB Stein +1 more
TL;DR: Since the reflex amplitude is task-dependent and is not always closely related to the EMG produced during a given task such as walking, the strong modulation of H-reflex during walking is not simply a passive consequence of the alpha-motoneuron excitation level.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relation between force and speed in muscular contraction
TL;DR: It is shown that the rate at which energy is liberated by a tetanized muscle increases linearly as the external force is reduced below the isometric tension.

Kinaesthetic role of muscle afferents in man, studied by tendon vibration and microneurography
Jean-Pierre Roll,J P Vedel +1 more
TL;DR: The characteristics of the vibration-induced illusory movements and the muscle spindle responses to tendon vibration and to active and passive joint movements strengthened the possibility of the contribution of primary endings to kinaesthesia, as suggested by several previous works.
