Research in exercise physiology has significantly advanced our understanding of muscle fatigue – the exercise‐induced decline in the ability of a muscle to generate force. This phenomenon encompasses ...

Infectious or chronic diseases such as long COVID, Alzheimer’s disease and traumatic brain injury can cause inflammation in the brain, or neuroinflammation, that weakens muscles. While scientists are ...

For people with paralysis or amputation, neuroprosthetic systems that artificially stimulate muscle contraction with electrical current can help them regain limb function. However, despite many years ...

Research reveals how brain inflammation triggers extreme muscle weakness across several diseases, including viral infection, bacterial infection and Alzheimer's disease. The study, in fruit flies and ...

Exercise-associated muscle cramps (EAMC) represent a transient yet intense involuntary contraction of skeletal muscle, often occurring during or immediately after physical exertion. Traditionally ...
