Reduction in Force Complexity Following Eccentric Exercise That Elicits Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage
Unaccustomed eccentric exercise has been shown to lead to muscle damage. Previous research suggests that fatigue reduces the complexity of muscle force output. However, previous research has not investigated whether the force complexity ...

The Influence of Hand Posture on Upper Arm Muscle Activity During Isometric Wrist Exertions Is Dependent on Exertion Direction and Wrist Action
Recent studies have demonstrated that isometric wrist actions performed with an open hand have a direction-dependent influence on upper arm muscle activity. It is presently unclear if these findings are translatable to motor tasks requir...

Control of Posture During Lifting: Effects of Weight Knowledge and Load Position Asymmetry
Lifting objects challenges postural stability and requires the generation of anticipatory (APA) and compensatory postural adjustments. This study investigated the combined effects of perturbation predictability and asymmetric load placem...

Nonlinear Dynamical Measures in Assessing the Function of Plantar Tactile Feedback on Postural Sway During Quiet Standing Without Vision
This study aimed to use nonlinear dynamical measures to examine the function of plantar tactile feedback during quiet standing without vision in order to elucidate the stimulation effects on postural sway. Detrended fluctuation analysis,...

Interplay Between Postural Stability and Coordination in Female Soccer Players With Chronic Ankle Instability
Objective:
This study investigated the effects of chronic ankle instability (CAI) on postural control following landing with an unanticipated task and on shank–rearfoot coordination during side-cutting in female socc...

Muscle Synergies During Countermovement Jump: Comparing Athletes and Nonathletes
This study investigated the neural timing control characteristics of countermovement jumps between elite athletes and nonathletes using muscle synergy theory. Twenty male participants (high-level group [HLG, N = 10] and untrained group [...

The Effect of Mental and Muscular Fatigue on Movement Variability in Dart Throwing: A UCM Analysis
Muscular fatigue often induces compensatory adjustments—such as increased motor unit recruitment and synchronization—that can elevate kinematic variability. By contrast, mental fatigue alters top-down neural control, modulates corticospi...

Working Together: Synergistic Predictors of Dyadic Performance in a Shared Force-Production Task
A core feature of joint action is task-sharing—the dynamic coordination of individual efforts to produce and stabilize a shared outcome. Yet, it remains unclear which features of task-sharing dynamics relate to stable performance. In thi...

Reliability and Diurnal-Fatigability Effects on Force–Time Characteristics During Maximal Voluntary Handgrip Contractions
Single-effort isometric handgrip strength tests are widely used as a proxy of overall muscular strength. While using peak force (PF) is practical and meaningful, additional force–time characteristics could provide insight into muscle fun...
