Neuromuscular Adjustments of the Quadriceps Muscle after Repeated Cycling Sprints
PURPOSE This study investigated the supraspinal processes of fatigue of the quadriceps muscle in response to repeated cycling sprints. METHODS Twelve active individuals performed 10 × 6-s "all-out" sprints on a cycle ergometer (recovery = 30 s), followed 6 min later by 5 × 6-s sprints (recovery = 30 s). Transcranial magnetic and electrical femoral nerve stimulations during brief (5-s) and sus...
متن کاملEnergy-Efficient FES Cycling with Quadriceps Stimulation
This paper discusses the use of energy storage device to assist FES-cycling for paraplegics and at the same time to eliminate the dead points of the pedal cycle. Implementation of an energy storage device has many desirable influences on FES-cycling. In this study, simple elastic cables are used as energy storage device. Elastic cables can store elastic potential energy due to either compressio...
متن کاملQuadriceps and Respiratory Muscle Fatigue Following High-Intensity Cycling in COPD Patients
Exercise intolerance in COPD seems to combine abnormal ventilatory mechanics, impaired O2 transport and skeletal muscle dysfunction. However their relative contribution and their influence on symptoms reported by patients remain to be clarified. In order to clarify the complex interaction between ventilatory and neuromuscular exercise limiting factors and symptoms, we evaluated respiratory musc...
متن کاملLamins: 'structure goes cycling'.
Nuclear intermediate filaments formed by A- and B-type lamins are central components of the nucleoskeleton and are required for the architecture and integrity of the nucleus. There is growing evidence that lamins are also involved in regulatory pathways controlling cell proliferation and differentiation. Lamins affect the activity of several transcription factors, such as retinoblastoma protein...
متن کاملMuscle deoxygenation in the quadriceps during ramp incremental cycling: Deep vs. superficial heterogeneity.
Muscle deoxygenation (i.e., deoxy[Hb + Mb]) during exercise assesses the matching of oxygen delivery (Q̇O2) to oxygen utilization (V̇O2). Until now limitations in near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) technology did not permit discrimination of deoxy[Hb + Mb] between superficial and deep muscles. In humans, the deep quadriceps is more highly vascularized and oxidative than the superficial quadriceps....
