Contraction intensity and sex differences in knee-extensor fatigability
Ansdell, Paul; Howatson, Glyn; Thomas, Kevin; Hunter, Sandra; Goodall, Stuart (Elsevier, 2017)Females are less fatigable than males during isometric contractions across various muscles and intensities. However, sex differences in knee-extensor fatigability remain relatively unexplored. Purpose: To determine the sex ... -
Deception improves time trial performance in well-trained cyclists without augmented fatigue
Ansdell, Paul; Howatson, Glyn; Thomas, Kevin; Amann, Markus; Goodall, Stuart (Wolters Kluwer, 2018)Purpose To investigate the effects of feedback, in the form of a virtual avatar paced at 100% and 102% of baseline performance, on neuromuscular fatigue after a 4-km cycling time trial (TT). We hypothesized that improved ... -
Differences in force normalising procedures during submaximal anisometric contractions
Škarabot, Jakob; Howatson, Glyn; Ansdell, Paul; Brownstein, Callum; Goodall, Stuart (Elsevier, 2018)Eccentric contractions are thought to require a unique neural activation strategy. However, due to greater intrinsic force generating capacity of muscle fibres during eccentric contraction, the understanding of neural ... -
Motor cortical and corticospinal function differ during an isometric squat compared with isometric knee extension
Brownstein, Callum G.; Howatson, Glyn; Ansdell, Paul; Škarabot, Jakob; Frazer, Ash (Wiley, 2018)It has been suggested that task‐specific changes in neurophysiological function (neuroplasticity) should be assessed using testing modalities that replicate the characteristics of the intervention. The squat is a commonly ... -
An optimal protocol for measurement of corticospinal excitability, short intracortical inhibition and intracortical facilitation in the rectus femoris
Brownstein, Callum G.; Howatson, Glyn; Ansdell, Paul; Škarabot, Jakob; Goodall, Stuart (Elsevier, 2018)The study aimed to determine the optimal application of single- and paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in the rectus femoris. Twenty-nine male adults participated in the study, which involved 5 separate ...
