Correlation and reliability of anaerobic fatigue indices in healthy adults performing maximal isometric elbow flexion

Muscle performance tests that measure total impulse (eg, absolute endurance), total impulse index, last third work/first third work index (LFWI), and exhaustion time are often used to assess muscle endurance. However, few studies have determined the reliability of the various indices used to measure...

Description
Summary:Muscle performance tests that measure total impulse (eg, absolute endurance), total impulse index, last third work/first third work index (LFWI), and exhaustion time are often used to assess muscle endurance. However, few studies have determined the reliability of the various indices used to measure muscle fatigue, and its reciprocal, muscle endurance. The purpose of this study was to determine the reliability of commonly used indices of anaerobic muscle fatigue following isometric elbow flexion exercise in healthy adults.
