Abstract
<p> [Purpose] Understanding the neuromuscular cooperativeness functions when an athlete is fatigued is essential in preventing sports injuries and examining post-injury return standards. This study aimed to investigate the kinds of changes in neuromuscular cooperativeness before and after fatigue loading. [Participants and Methods] Fifteen female university athletes were examined for chronological changes in neuromuscular cooperativeness. Muscle fatigue loading was performed using BIODEX (180°/s) during knee flexion and extension exercises on one side. Surface electromyography of the rectus femoris and biceps femoris was performed on both sides before and immediately, 5 min, 10 min, and 15 min after loading. The switching silent period and pre-motor time were calculated from the electromyographic waveforms to indicate neuromuscular cooperativeness. [Results] The switching silent periods in the loading side immediately and 5 min after loading were significantly prolonged compared with that before loading. [Conclusion] Muscle fatigue loading instantaneously prolonged the switching silent period and decreased the neuromuscular cooperativeness. Furthermore, recovery generally occurred within 10 minutes after loading.</p>
