Resistance training‐induced adaptations in the neuromuscular system: Physiological mechanisms and implications for human performance Open
Repeated exposure to external resistive stimuli elicits multiple physiological adaptations that together optimise motor control and enhance human performance. These adaptations manifest as plastic and functional changes mediated by molecul…

Neural determinants of the increase in muscle strength and force steadiness of the untrained limb following a 4 week unilateral training Open
Enhanced untrained muscle strength and force steadiness following unilateral resistance training (i.e. cross‐education ) are attributed to neural responses. However, the mechanisms of these adaptations for spinal motoneurons remain underex…

Neural determinants of the increase in muscle strength and force steadiness of the untrained limb following a 4-week unilateral training Open
Enhanced untrained muscle strength and force steadiness following unilateral resistance training (i.e., cross-education ) is typically attributed to neural responses. However, the mechanisms of these adaptations for spinal motoneurons rema…

Higher dominant muscle strength is mediated by motor unit discharge rates and proportion of common synaptic inputs Open
Neural determinants explaining the asymmetrical force and skill observed in limb dominance still need to be comprehensively investigated. To address this gap, we recorded myoelectrical activity from biceps brachii using high-density surfac…

Physiological mechanisms of neuromuscular impairment in diabetes‐related complications: Can physical exercise help prevent it? Open
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disorder that progressively induces complications, compromising daily independence. Among these, diabetic neuropathy is particularly prevalent and contributes to substantial neuromuscular impairments in both …

Cross-education: motor unit adaptations mediate the strength increase in non-trained muscles following 8 weeks of unilateral resistance training Open
Introduction Early increases in muscle strength following unilateral resistance training are typically accompanied by strength gains in the contralateral untrained muscles, a phenomenon known as cross-education. However, the specific motor…

Characterising sex‐related differences in lower‐ and higher‐threshold motor unit behaviour through high‐density surface electromyography Open
Emerging questions in neuromuscular physiology revolve around whether males and females share similar neural control in diverse tasks across a broad range of intensities. In order to explore these features, high‐density electromyography wa…

Sensorimotor integration is affected by acute whole-body vibration: a coherence study Open
Introduction: Several whole-body vibration (WBV) effects on performance have been related to potential changes in the neural drive, motor unit firing rate, and sensorimotor integration. In the present paper, motor unit coherence analysis w…

The acute effects of whole-body vibration on motor unit recruitment and discharge properties Open
Introduction: several studies have reported improved neuromuscular parameters in response to whole-body vibration (WBV). This is likely achieved by modulation of the central nervous system (CNS). Reduced recruitment threshold (RT), which i…

Psychological Impact of the Quarantine-Induced Stress during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Outbreak among Italian Athletes Open
The 2019 Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak caused home confinement, as well as training and sport competitions withdrawals. The prolonged inactivity impact, and lack of in-person interactions among teammates-coaches, could negatively affect …
