Force fluctuations regulation and the role of neurophysiological mechanisms throughout different isometric contraction intensities by João H. Oliveira, João S. Gomes, Philipp Bauer, Pedro Pezarat-Correia, João R. Vaz

“…We demonstrated a trend for an inverted U-shaped relationship between force complexity and contraction intensity, with SampEn at ETT and 150%ETT being significantly higher than at 50%ETT and 75%ETT (all p < 0.05). This pattern was accompanied by an increase in motor unit actions potentials and firing rate as the intensity increased up to 150%ETT (all p < 0.05). …”
