Abstract
Non-local muscle fatigue (NLMF) has been examined but the literature is inconsistent. Differences in the protocols contribute to the inconsistent results. Most NLMF studies focus on large muscle groups only (elbow flexors or knee extensors), with few NLMF studies involving small muscles as either fatigued or tested muscles. Furthermore, the NLMF effect from a small fatigued muscle to a larger heterologous muscle is unknown. Hence, the objective of the present study was to examine the effect of small muscle fatigue on the force production and activation of contralateral homologous and a larger heterologous muscles.
