Activation of human quadriceps femoris during isometric, concentric, and eccentric contractions
TL;DR: It is concluded that reduced neural drive is present during 20 degrees /s maximal concentric and both maximal and submaximal eccentric contractions, indicating a voluntary activation dependency on both tension levels and type of muscular actions in the human knee-extensor muscle group.

Mechanisms contributing to knee extensor strength loss after prolonged running exercise
TL;DR: It can be concluded that central fatigue, neuromuscular propagation, and muscular factors are involved in the 23.9% reduction in MVC after a prolonged running bout at racing pace and runners with the greatest KE strength loss experience large activation deficit.

Inertial properties of the arm are accurately predicted during motor imagery.
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the brain internally represents the inertial properties of the arm and makes use of it both for sensorimotor control and for the generation of motor images.

Mentally represented motor actions in normal aging: III. Electromyographic features of imagined arm movements.
Pascaline Personnier,Pascaline Personnier,Yves Ballay,Yves Ballay,Charalambos Papaxanthis,Charalambos Papaxanthis +5 more
TL;DR: The temporal and electromyographic features of imagined arm movements in healthy elderly adults are investigated and it is suggested that elderly adults use efferent copies of motor commands to generate motor representations; however, this ability is progressively deteriorated in the aging brain.

Pointing to double-step visual stimuli from a standing position: very short latency (express) corrections are observed in upper and lower limbs and may not require cortical involvement.
Lilian Fautrelle,C. Prablanc,Bastien Berret,Yves Ballay,Yves Ballay,François Bonnetblanc,François Bonnetblanc +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that visual on-going movement corrections may be accomplished via fast loops at the level of the upper and lower limbs and may not require cortical involvement.
