Muscle weakness is a secondary motor symptom of Parkinson’s disease (PD), especially in the subtype characterized by postural instability and gait difficulty (PIGD). Since the PIGD subtype also presents worse bradykinesia, ...

The main objective of this paper was to study the influence of muscular CA around the knee on the rate of force development (RFD) in older women. After personal invitation, 12 older women, participated in the study. ...

The process of physiological aging involves a series of alterations in the neuromuscular system leading to the reduction of mass and muscle force. Consequently, changes in muscle strength have been investigated in elderly ...

Heat shock proteins play a key regulatory role in cellular defense. To investigate the role of the inducible 70-kDa heat shock protein (HSP70) in skeletal muscle atrophy and subsequent recovery, soleus (SOL) and extensor ...

Abstract Background Muscle force estimation could advance the comprehension of the neuromuscular strategies that diabetic patients adopt to preserve walking ability, which ...

We hypothesized that prior exercise would attenuate the muscle fatigue accompanied by oxygen uptake slow-component ((V)over dotO(2SC)) behavior during a subsequent very-heavy (VH)-intensity cycling exercise. Thirteen healthy ...
