How does inducing post-activation potentiation during prolonged low-frequency force depression effect motor unit firing rates? Alexander Zero, Jacob Fanous and Charles L. Rice (Western Health Sciences) investigate... 📜buff.ly/46YpD9V

🌟Begin your week with a great #ArticlesInPress, Age-related blunting of serial sarcomerogenesis and mechanical adaptations following 4 weeks of maximal eccentric resistance training @HinksAve, et al. 🖱️ow.ly/OwwQ50QZyvy #JAPPL #Aging #Elderly Geoff Power

#ArticlesInPress: Differential effects of stimulation frequency on isometric and concentric isotonic contractile function in human quadriceps Alexander M. Zero, et al. ow.ly/tbTw50Sb20O #JAPPL #ElectricalStimulation

Another successful visit with Charles and his students doing motor unit recordings during arm cycling. Almost there now!

#ArticlesInPress: Influence of stimulation frequency on early and late phase rate of torque and velocity development Michael T. Paris, et al. ow.ly/lowm50SncNt #JAPPL

I'm delighted to announce the lab's first paper is finally out! Huge congrats to Eric and the team. rdcu.be/dRT7z

Even if humans resist wisdom, muscles have it on their own😆 Very nice experimental approach to studying muscle wisdom in fatigability from Charles Rice's Lab physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Raaj Dudani, Alexander Zero and Charles L. Rice (Western Health Sciences) look to resolve the discrepancy between studies using electrical stimulation to evaluate the ‘muscular wisdom’ hypothesis! 📜buff.ly/kkS2YPu

Interesting insights: Without visual feedback, torque remains stable as reduced voluntary drive limits motor output. Muscle potentiation doesn’t shift motoneuron sensitivity—it's all about perceptual cues! ow.ly/AcxN50VtvNg Alexander Zero #electromyography #motoneuron

I’m incredibly honoured to receive the International Society of Motor Control Early Career Investigator Award. This recognition reflects the amazing mentors, collaborators, and trainees I’ve had the privilege to learn from and work alongside. Thank-you all! 🙏

…and I’ll post this by Geoff. I think both tweets by Tony and Geoff are informative for everyone in the field. I know where I stand and I (and some colleagues) have been writing a topical review for quite some time now. I hope to have it ready soon.
