Abstract |
Striated muscles of continence appear to exhibit marked fatigue during voluntary efforts. This is counterintuitive considering the high proportion of slow twitch muscle fibers. One explanation is that fatigue is due to central, rather than peripheral mechanisms. Here we examined the contribution of reduced voluntary activation (central fatigue) to the decline in anal sphincter (AS) and elbow flexor muscle force during voluntary contractions. |
