Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aimed to investigate the central control mechanism behind the rapid adjustment of muscle output during isometric knee extension by analyzing tension as an indicator. In particular, attentions were focused on rapid increase or decrease in muscle output, muscle output was adjusted by unilateral or bilateral, and coordinate of muscle output by leg with arm. In the case of bilateral muscle output by leg, moreover, accuracy and quickness were compared between output level were same or not same among legs. The characteristics of muscle output control manner by leg were clarified.
