Immediately post-task failure, compared to controls, PD exhibited less fatigue-induced impairments in MVC torque, voluntary activation, and quadriceps electromyographic (EMG) activity, but similar impairment of twitch torque. For power and twitch torque, PD and controls recovered similarly, whereas PD recovered sooner for MVC torque and quadriceps EMG.

Therefore, we developed an experimental design and a multimodal setup for the simultaneous measurement of EMG, triaxial OPM-MMG, and vigorimetry. As a proof of concept, right biceps brachii muscle activity was recorded during maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) and a 40 % MVC muscle fatigue paradigm over 3 min in 12 healthy, untrained subjects. Measurements were taken before and after a 30-day strength training program, with six subjects undergoing training and six serving as controls. EMG and MMG showed a similar increase in RMS during MVC and fatigue after training (r > 0.9). However, the MMG increase varied by vector component, with the magnetic flux signal along the muscle fibers showing the highest RMS increase. Furthermore, these MMG findings can be visualized three-dimensionally using one OPM, which is not possible with bipolar EMG. This is the first longitudinal MMG study to demonstrate the feasibility of monitoring strength training-induced adaptations over 4 weeks, which highlights the opportunities and challenges of OPM-MMG for contactless neuromuscular monitoring.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":56123,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology","volume":"82 ","pages":"Article 103012"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143923622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
