Lots of work to do in this area. We did see similar results to Travis Beck's lab regarding firing rates. Jason DeFreitas Matt Stock, PhD link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Our lab KU Medical Center is hiring a Clinical Research Coordinator to manage our NIH funded clinical trial on statins, metabolism, and skeletal muscle health and function. Listing is here: jobs.kumc.edu/postings/searc… Position#: J0087708 DM me for more info..and Please retweet.

Females have smaller muscle cross-sectional area and lower maximal voluntary contraction strength than males, yet differ in motor unit firing properties only during high, but not low, intensity contractions. Open Access Link: rdcu.be/b3JyF

I believe some motor unit researchers will find this helpful. authors.elsevier.com/a/1aznC3kuromm…

An examination of motor unit firing rates during steady torque of maximal efforts with either an explosive or slower rate of torque development @ProfessorReece7 Dr. Trent Herda buff.ly/3HZfZbQ

📣 Volunteers needed! ✨ Trent Herda, associate professor of Health, Sport & Exercise Sciences, is seeking volunteers for an 8-week children’s exercise research study at KU Edwards Campus. Volunteers will receive a stipend. See details on the flier below: ⤵️

Dear JAMA Pediatrics, So jumping rope, climbing trees and gymnastics are safe for kids, but weight lifting is "not appropriate" because the strain is too high?

Hopefully this paper sheds light on how difficult it can be to interpret potential changes in motor unit properties as a function of resistance training. Also, there are far less total subjects included in this research than you would expect.
