Assessment of the reliability of high-intensity quadriceps femoris muscle fatigue

Article Abstract:

This article examines the test-retest reliability of two measures of fatigue in the quadriceps femoris muscle. Findings indicate that measurements taken during brief, high-intensity exercise are more reliable when calculated by the slope of repetitions when compared to measures obtained using a fatigue index that analyzes decreases in torque output.

Knee flexor torque and perceived exertion: a gender and reliability analysis

Article Abstract:

Results show that males exhibit greater hamstring muscle torque than females in absolute, relative, and allometric units. However, data do not indicate any significant gender differences in perceived exertion across submaximal contraction intensities.
