Our aim was to determine whether muscle synergies are similar across trained cyclists (and thus whether the same locomotor strategies for pedaling are used), despite interindividual variability of individual EMG patterns. Nine trained cyclists were tested during a constant-load pedaling exercise performed at 80% of maximal power. Surface EMG signals were measured in 10 lower limb muscles. A decomposition algorithm (nonnegative matrix factorization) was applied to a set of 40 consecutive…

Inter-individual variability of forces and modular muscle coordination in cycling: a study on untrained subjects.

Between-subject variability of muscle synergies during a complex motor skill

Although variability was found (especially for synergy #3), the gymnasts exhibited gross similar neuromuscular strategies when performing backward giant swings, confirming that the muscle synergies are consistent across participants, even during a skilled motor task that requires learning.

Comparison of muscle synergies extracted from both legs during cycling at different mechanical conditions

It is demonstrated that different subjects at different mechanical conditions use the same motor control strategies for cycling, despite inter-individual variability of muscle patterns.

Similarity of muscle synergies in human walking and cycling: Preliminary results

Preliminary results support the hypothesis of modular control across different human motor tasks and may indicate that some synergies are shared amongst different rhythmic movements.

Consistency of muscle synergies during pedaling across different mechanical constraints.

The results support the hypothesis that these muscle synergies reflect a neural control strategy, with only a few timing adjustments in their activation regarding the mechanical constraints.

Shared muscle synergies in human walking and cycling.

Supporting evidence is provided for the hypothesis that cycling and walking share common neuromuscular mechanisms and muscle synergy vectors of walking and cycling produced moderated values of similarity.

Muscle coordination analysis by time-varying muscle synergy extraction during cycling across various mechanical conditions

Muscle synergies during bench press are reliable across days.

Intermuscular Coordination in the Power Clean Exercise: Comparison between Olympic Weightlifters and Untrained Individuals—A Preliminary Study

Results may indicate an adaptation in intermuscular coordination with training, and athletes in an initial phase of training should attempt to delay the hip extension, as well as the upper-limb flexion, in synergy #1 and #2.

Interindividual variability of electromyographic patterns and pedal force profiles in trained cyclists

A very low variability in the three mechanical profiles was obtained in the propulsive downstroke phase, although a greater variability in these mechanical patterns was found during upstroke and around the top dead center, and at 250 W when compared to 150 W.

Neuromechanics of muscle synergies during cycling.

Results show that the activity of muscles within anatomic groups is partially uncoupled in response to altered mechanical demands on the limb.

Five basic muscle activation patterns account for muscle activity during human locomotion

A systematic phase shift of all five factors with speed in the same direction as the shift in the onset of the swing phase supports the idea that the origin of the gait cycle generation is the propulsion rather than heel strike event.

A limited set of muscle synergies for force control during a postural task.

It is suggested that, within the context of active balance control, postural synergies reflect a neural command signal that specifies endpoint force of a limb.

Muscle synergies characterizing human postural responses.

The results suggest that muscle synergies represent a general neural strategy underlying muscle coordination in postural tasks that represents variations in the amplitude of descending neural commands that activate individual Muscle synergies.

Muscle synergy organization is robust across a variety of postural perturbations.

The robustness of synergy organization across perturbation types, postures, and animals suggests that muscle synergies controlling task-variables are a general construct used by the CNS for balance control.

Adjustments of motor pattern for load compensation via modulated activations of muscle synergies during natural behaviors.

Investigating whether motor responses observed after an inertial-load perturbation can be generated by altering the recruitment of synergies normally used for constructing unperturbed movements suggests that muscle synergies are robust across different dynamic conditions and immediate motor adjustments can be accomplished by modulating synergy activations.

Heterogeneity of muscle recruitment pattern during pedaling in professional road cyclists: a magnetic resonance imaging and electromyography study

This high level of variation in the recruitment of lower limb muscles in professional cyclists during both incremental and constant-load exercises is surprising given the homogeneity related to maximal oxygen consumption and training volume.
