Changes in electromyographic activity, mechanical power, and relaxation rates following inspiratory ribcage muscle fatigue

Abstract Muscle fatigue is a complex phenomenon enclosing various mechanisms. Despite technological advances, these mechanisms are still not fully understood in vivo. Here, simultaneous measurements of pressure, volume, and ribcage inspiratory muscle activity were performed non-invasively during fat...
