Abstract:There is no current method that can directly measure in-vivo human motor unit recruitment and their individual incremental contributions to muscle contractile velocity, force and power. The purpose of this research was to 1) acquire previously published data of single fibre contractile velocity, force and power for the different skeletal muscle fibre types, corrected for muscle temperature, 2) develop a computational model of motor unit recruitment spanning the 5 fibre type categories (types I, I-IIa, IIa, IIa… Show more
