Menstrual cycle associated alteration of vastus lateralis motor unit function

J. Piasecki, Y. Guo, E. J. Jones, B. E. Phillips, D. W. Stashuk, P. J. Atherton, M. Piasecki

This study examines how menstrual cycle phases affect motor unit function in vastus lateralis muscle, finding reduced firing rates of low threshold motor units during high progesterone phases without affecting neuromuscular performance.

Motor unit dysregulation following 15 days of unilateral lower limb immobilisation

T. B. Inns, J. J. Bass, E. J. O. Hardy, D. J. Wilkinson, D. W. Stashuk, P. J. Atherton, B. E. Phillips, M. Piasecki

This study examines motor unit adaptations in human skeletal muscle after 15 days of unilateral limb immobilisation, finding reduced muscle strength relative to mass and changes in motor unit firing and neuromuscular junction transmission.

Training induced improvements in knee extensor force accuracy are associated with reduced vastus lateralis motor unit firing variability

I. A. Ely, E. J. Jones, T. B. Inns, S. Dooley, S. B. J. Miller, D. W. Stashuk, P. J. Atherton, B. E. Phillips, M. Piasecki

This study shows that force accuracy training reduces motor unit firing rate variability in the vastus lateralis, improving force tracking accuracy without increasing muscle strength.

Muscle activation strategies of the vastus lateralis according to sex

Y. Guo, E. J. Jones, T. B. Inns, I. A. Ely, D. W. Stashuk, D. J. Wilkinson, K. Smith, J. Piasecki, B. E. Phillips, P. J. Atherton, M. Piasecki

This study compares neuromuscular recruitment strategies in men and women during isometric contractions, finding women use smaller motor units with higher firing rates while both sexes show similar force production strategies.
