Sustained submaximal isometric wrist flexion and wrist extension contractions uniquely impair maximal voluntary contraction force in the antagonist wrist action
When fatigued, the wrist extensors, which are the primary wrist stabilizers, impair distal upper limb motor performance in a surprisingly similar way as when fatiguing the wrist flexors. It is possible that the wrist extensors are so active as antagonists that they develop an equal degree of fatigue during wrist flexion contractions, making it difficult to truly isolate their impact on performance. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine how wrist flexion/extension forces are impaired following either agonist or antagonist sustained submaximal wrist contractions. 13 male participants attended four laboratory sessions. In these sessions, fatigue was induced via a sustained submaximal isometric contraction of either wrist flexion or extension. These contractions were held for up to 10 min at 20% of the participant's baseline maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) force. Throughout the sustained contraction, intermittent agonist (matching the sustained contraction) or antagonist (opposing the sustained contraction) MVCs were performed. Unsurprisingly, agonist MVC forces decreased significantly more than antagonist (Agonist: 58.5%, Antagonist: 86.5% of MVC, P < 0.001). However, while there were no differences in antagonist wrist extension and flexion MVC decreases (Wrist Flexion: 87.5%, Wrist Extension: 85.5%, P = 0.41), wrist extension MVCs did decrease significantly more than wrist flexion MVCs when forces were expressed relative to the agonist (P = 0.036). These findings partially support the hypothesis that the wrist extensors may be more susceptible to developing fatigue when functioning as antagonists than the wrist flexors. This work will help equip future research into the motor control of the upper limb and the prevention of forearm-related musculoskeletal disorders.
期刊介绍:
Human Movement Science provides a medium for publishing disciplinary and multidisciplinary studies on human movement. It brings together psychological, biomechanical and neurophysiological research on the control, organization and learning of human movement, including the perceptual support of movement. The overarching goal of the journal is to publish articles that help advance theoretical understanding of the control and organization of human movement, as well as changes therein as a function of development, learning and rehabilitation. The nature of the research reported may vary from fundamental theoretical or empirical studies to more applied studies in the fields of, for example, sport, dance and rehabilitation with the proviso that all studies have a distinct theoretical bearing. Also, reviews and meta-studies advancing the understanding of human movement are welcome.
These aims and scope imply that purely descriptive studies are not acceptable, while methodological articles are only acceptable if the methodology in question opens up new vistas in understanding the control and organization of human movement. The same holds for articles on exercise physiology, which in general are not supported, unless they speak to the control and organization of human movement. In general, it is required that the theoretical message of articles published in Human Movement Science is, to a certain extent, innovative and not dismissible as just "more of the same."
