"Forced Bedridden Tour" Hits Big with Overworked Elites

A depopulated village forces 3,000 squats on arrival. Immobile guests get elderly care. Diaper use skyrockets.

Brain inflammation may be the reason behind muscle fatigue after infection and injury

Neuroinflammation, caused by infections or chronic diseases, depletes muscle energy via brain-to-muscle cytokine signaling, leading to fatigue without damaging muscle fibers. Targeting this pathway with treatments like neutralizing antibodies shows promise for improving muscle function.

How Neuroinflammation May Be Knocking out the Muscles in Long COVID, ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia - Health Rising

Geoff’s Narrations The GIST The Blog   It’s always seemed that both the brain and the muscles must be involved in diseases like chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), fibromyalgia (FM), and long COVID. The question has always been how? A study just showed up could answer that question. The problem starts […]

Analyzing the Impact of Accumulated Training Shots on Electromyography Parameters in Trained Archery Athletes: Exploring Fatigue and Its Association with Training Practices

Background: Accumulated training shots throughout a session may induce changes in electromyography (EMG) parameters of the primary muscles involved in movement in archery athletes. Thus, the aim of this study was two-fold: (i) analyze the impact of 50 and 100 archery shots on a single session on the EMG parameters of trained archery athletes; and (ii) explore the effects of training routines of the athletes to cope with fatigue induced by the accumulated shots on the EMG parameters. Methods: They were divided into two groups: those who regularly performed ≤100 shots per training session (n = 13) and those who performed >100 shots per session (n = 7). The participants were exposed to a condition involving 100 archery shots, with measurements taken at baseline, after 50, and after 100 shots. EMG was used to measure the electric potential of the deltoid (middle and posterior), trapezius (upper, middle, and lower), and infraspinatus during isometric contraction. The collected outcomes included the mean and maximal amplitude of EMG root mean square (EMGRMS, µV) and the median frequency of the raw surface EMG signal power spectrum (EMGMED, Hz). Results: The results showed significant differences for most of the analyzed muscles analyzed, specifically in the deltoid, infraspinatus, and trapezius (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Our study suggests that in most of the muscles analyzed, EMG parameters—particularly mean and maximal EMGRMS—tend to increase from baseline to 50 shots, with significant declines observed after 100 shots, indicating muscle fatigue. The training routines of the athletes do not appear to significantly influence their response to fatigue conditions.

Utilizing SUPERSETS AND DROP SETS 🔄

Drop sets, also known as strip sets or descending sets, involve performing an exercise to failure or near failure, then immediately reducing the weight.

Supersets involve performing two exercises back-to-back without resting in between.
