| Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to investigate activity of hip adductor muscles over time and during a representative crank cycle in fatiguing pedaling. Sixteen healthy men performed incremental pedaling exercise until exhaustion. During the exercise, surface electromyogram (EMG) was detected from adductor magnus (AM), adductor longus (AL), and selected thigh muscles. Temporal changes to normalized EMG in AM muscle resembled those in vastus lateralis (VL) muscle, whereas those in AL muscle showed later onset of increase from baseline compared with AM and VL muscles. During a representative crank cycle, the same level of normalized EMG was found between propulsive and pulling phases for AM muscle, whereas muscle activation of AL muscle during the pulling phase was statistically significant higher than that during the propulsive phase. We concluded that AM and AL muscles were gradually recruited over time during fatiguing pedaling exercise, but their temporal change and activation phases were not completely the same. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 December 2019.
All research outputs
#16,045,990
of 25,368,786 outputs
Outputs from European Journal of Applied Physiology
#3,052
of 4,345 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#97,752
of 116,427 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Journal of Applied Physiology
#14
of 23 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,368,786 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,345 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 14.6. This one is in the 26th percentile – i.e., 26% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 116,427 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 23 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
