Neuromuscular fatigue and recovery after strenuous exercise depends on skeletal muscle size and stem cell characteristics
Abstract Hamstring muscle injury is highly prevalent in sports involving repeated maximal sprinting. Although neuromuscular fatigue is thought to be a risk factor, the mechanisms underlying the fatigue response to repeated maximal sprints are unclear. Here, we show that repeated maximal sprints indu...
