Coactivation pattern in human quadriceps during isokinetic knee-extension by muscle functional MRI

We tested activation patterns of individual muscles and neuromuscular compartments (NMCs) of the quadriceps femoris (QF) during knee-extension exercises (KEE). Eight healthy men performed repetitive isokinetic KEE at 120 degrees s(-1). Before and after KEE, muscle functional magnetic resonance image...

description We tested activation patterns of individual muscles and neuromuscular compartments (NMCs) of the quadriceps femoris (QF) during knee-extension exercises (KEE). Eight healthy men performed repetitive isokinetic KEE at 120 degrees s(-1). Before and after KEE, muscle functional magnetic resonance images of the thigh were taken to calculate transverse relaxation times (T2) for the individual muscles of the QF. In terms of exercised T2, a moderate correlation was observed between the rectus femoris (RF) and vastus medialis (VM) ( r=0.493, P
