Full textDuring a motorcycle race fatigue levels are high as riders are required to endure high levels of muscle tension for long periods of time, especially in their arms and forearms. For this reason the present thesis focuses on fatigue in the right forearm muscles. In the first study we compared an intermittent fatigue protocol (IFP) especially designed for motorcycle riders with a continuous protocol. The IFP was not only able to discriminate between the riders and the control group, but also proved to have a strong relationship with the level of motorcyclist forearm discomfort. Despite the results obtained with continuous protocol were similar to those reported in the literature, our IFP confirmed the discrepancies between studies suggesting that the combination of different, contraction-relaxation periods, submaximal contraction intensities (% maximal voluntary contraction, MVC), muscle groups and other non-controlled or non-reported factors, are critical to understand muscle fatigue in IFPs. The above mentioned results invited us to investigate the effects of two different recovery periods and two intensities on the EMG signal in the study II, using a unique IFP. The results suggested that using short recovery periods and low intensities is the best approach to evoke fatigue. In study Ill, time course parameters of contraction and relaxation were examined to better characterize the reduction in the maximal force generating capacity of a muscle (MVC) during an IFP specifically designed for road racing motorcycle riders. Also, a mathematical nonlinear force fatigue model was proposed and confirmed a satisfactory adjustment to all participants. The same mathematical expression derived three patterns of force fatigue : three-phase , exponential and linear. Finally, in the fourth study which purpose was to investigate the contribution of central and peripheral mechanisms of fatigue on the exerted and contralateral extensor digitorum communis following an IFP, we examined the time-course of recovery of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC), compound muscle action potential (CMAP), motor evoked potential (MEP) to transcranial magnetic stimuli and the cortical silent period (CSP) throughout 20 min of recovery. The results suggested that local factors were those mainly responsible for the incomplete MVC recovery after the IFP.

Full textThe objective of this research was to evaluate cardio-respiratory responses (heart rate, blood pressure, 'VO IND.2', 'VCO IND.2' e Ve) to neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) of the quadriceps in patients with spinal cord injury. Ten patients (five paraplegics and five tetraplegics) and one healthy subject participated in this study. The protocol of the test consisted of ten minutes of rest, twenty minutes of NMES of the quadriceps and ten minutes of recovery. However, the healthy subject performed the voluntary movement of knee flexion and extension. The findings in this study indicated that patients during NMES demostrated low values of 'VO IND.2' e 'VCO IND.2', slow gas kinetics and altered values of 'P IND.O2' and 'P IND.CO2', on the others cases, the fast kinetics of the gas was verified. Moreover, there were increases in blood pressure and heart rate. Nevertheless, for some patients, heart rate response limitations were observed. Therefore, the patients presented some limitations in the cardio-respiratory responses, indicating performance of exhaustive exercise, but the use of NMES can elicit improvements in exercise tolerance due to its benefits

Full textThis work aims to analyze neural adaptations of the neuromuscular system to acute and chronic exercise realized in isotonic (IT) and isokinetic (IK) concentric modalities. A first study consisted in developing a methodological approach allowing to compare these two contraction modes. This method, based on the standardisation of the total external amount of work and the mean angular movement velocity, allowed then to analyze the effect of each contraction mode on agonist muscle activity and antagonist muscle co-activity levels during knee extensions. The main result of this second study shows that agonist muscle activity and antagonist muscle co-activity is higher in isotonic mode than in isokinetic mode. Spinal and supra-spinal mechanisms could explain in part these results. A third study allowed to compare neuromuscular adaptations to isotonic and isokinetic training of the knee extensors. Results show an improvement of the force production capacities after training. An increase in agonist muscle activity associated to a decrease in muscle inhibition could explain in part these results

Full textThe O-linked N-acetylglucosaminylation termed O-GlcNAc is a dynamic cytosolic and nuclear glycosylation on serine and threonine residus. This dynamic and reversible glycosylation is involved in many physiological as weIl as pathological processes such as diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer or cardiac ischemia. Only few studies have been performed about the role of O-GlcNAc in skeletal muscle. However, the skeletal muscle is an interesting model to study the O-GlcNAc since i) its metabolism depends on glucose, ii) many muscular processes such as contraction are dependent on phosphorylation, and iii) there is a plasticity of the muscle metabolism depending on the physiological conditions. O-GlcNAc is dependent also on the level of glucose and can interfere with phosphorylation through a phosphorylation/glycosylation balance. We clearly demonstrated that a number of key contractile proteins i.e myosin heavy and light chains and actin are O-GlcNAc modified. The role of this post-translational modification in the contractile properties was investigated by establishing T/pCa curves on skinned fibers. This study demonstrated that O-GlcNAc moieties involved in protein-protein interactions or not could modulate calcium activation properties and therefore that O-GlcNAc motifs could be involved in the modulation of contractile force. Using a mass spectrometry-based method, we determined the localization of one O-GlcNAc site in the suddomain 4 of actin (séquence 198-207) and four O-GleNAc sites in the light meromyosin region of myosin heavy chains (séquences 1094-1106; 1295-1303; 1701-1712; 1913-1922). These sites might be involved in protein-protein interactions or in the polymerization of MHC or could modulate the contractile properties of skeletal muscle. Finally, we studied the implication of O-GlcNAc in a human model of muscle atrophy (Bed-Rest). We demonstrated the existence of a phosphorylation/O-GleNAc balance for MLC2 that could modulate the activity and properties of this protein which bas a key role in the modulation of force. Moreover, our data suggested that O-GlcNAc level might be involved in the control of protein homeostasis and muscular atrophy in human as in rat. AlI these data demonstrate that O-GlcNAc is an important post-translational modification in the muscle physiology

Full textThe high frequency of resistance training sessions induces heavy strain and fatigue phenomenon, which could be prejudicial for subsequent performance. In this context, it appears necessary to apply proper recovery strategies in order to improve the athlete’s ability to regain an adequate working state for subsequent training.Active recovery is widely described in the literature as the most efficient method for this purpose. It consists in low-intensity exercises, which could improve metabolites washout by increasing peripheral blood flow. To our knowledge, active recovery is usually applied globally, with exercises involving the whole body (light pedalling or running) but little is known regarding a local application after analytical exercises such as strengthening exercise. The aim of our research was therefore to determine the most effective method to recover from resistance training session in terms of maximal strength performance. Among the active recovery modes, electromyostimulation (EMS) is of particular interest since it can be applied on specific muscles groups. Our results showed that active recovery using EMS applied during a session (between the sets) or after a session, did not demonstrate any difference as compared with passive recovery. Also, we demonstrated that EMS was not more efficient when applied distally. However, we highlighted that the investigation of neuromuscular parameters is necessary to better understand the origin of the fatigue induced by a specific exercise in order to apply the most appropriated recovery mode

Full textThe practice of intense and repeated exercises, interrupted with short recovery times, may induce alterations in homeostasis and a decrease of the performance for athletes who are subject to this type of constraints. In this context, the optimization of the recovery processes is a strong possibility to improve performance and the maintain of it all along the competitive period. One of the main limits in the preservation of performance in type high-intensity, repeated at small interval of time, is attributed to the peripheral fatigue, inherent to all the mechanisms implied in the skeletal muscle excitability and contraction. This peripheral fatigue induces an inadequacy between the contributions and the cellular needs of oxygen and nutrients, and also a disability for disposal or recycling the metabolic by-products stemming from the muscular contraction. In order to limit these effects, the increase in blood flow during exercise and recovery seems essential for the good restoring of the state of physiological balance for the body and the preservation of sport performance. Therefore, the neuromuscular electrical stimulation seems to be, in theory, an effective recovery mode to improve the blood flow. This present thesis, comprising three studies, aimed to know precisely the effects of the neuromuscular electrical stimulation - by the use of a new device stemming from the medical field - on the kinetics of recovery of performance, physiological and perceptual markers, in the context of intense exercises repeated in the short terms. We hypothesized that an effective stimulation, increasing the blood flow would allow to optimize short-term recovery between two high-intensity exercises. These results should contribute to optimize, in the future, the strategies of recovery organized after an intense exercise

Full textNous avons choisi une approche génétique pour analyser le rôle des cholinestérases dans la transmission neuromusculaire. Nous disposons de plusieurs lignées de souris qui présentent un déficit dans l'hydrolyse de l'ACh à la jonction neuromusculaire. Certaines de ces souris génétiquement modifiées n'ont plus d'activité enzymatique AChE (souris AChE KO) dans tous les tissus, d'autres ne possèdent que la forme moléculaire soluble de l'AChE (souris AChE Del E5,6), d'autres sont dépourvues de la forme ancrée à la membrane par un glycophospholipide (souris AChE Del E5/neo) ou des formes ancrées à la membrane par PRiMA (souris PRiMA KO) ou totalement de BChE (souris BChE KO). La caractérisation des JNM de ces souris par des approches électrophysiologiques et de microscopie confocale nous a permis d'appréhender les rôles des différentes formes moléculaires des cholinestérases dans la transmission neuromusculaire ainsi que les éventuelles adaptations pré- et postsynaptiques qui conditionnent l'efficacité synaptique.
Malgré l'absence totale ou partielle d'AChE, les souris développent des contractions tétaniques dans une gamme de fréquences physiologiques (10 à 100 Hz) mais ne peuvent pas les maintenir constantes à des fréquences supérieures à 30 Hz. Chez ces souris, l'inhibition de la BChE entraîne une accentuation de la dépression de ces réponses, ce qui suggère que la BChE joue un rôle de modulateur dans la transmission synaptique. De plus, les cours temporels des réponses synaptiques enregistrées au niveau des JNM sont augmentés de par l'activation répétitive des récepteurs nicotiniques de l'ACh (RnACh) par l'ACh. Enfin, des remodelages pré- et postsynaptiques post-nataux ont été mis en évidence au niveau des JNM. Ces remodelages synaptiques sont probablement dus à l'adaptation des RnACh et des terminaisons nerveuses motrices face à l'absence d'activité enzymatique de l'AChE.
Nous proposons que, chez ces souris génétiquement modifiées, la petite taille des aires de distribution des RnACh ainsi que la discontinuité des amas de ces récepteurs et de celle des terminaisons nerveuses permettent à l'ACh de diffuser facilement et rapidement hors de la fente synaptique.

Full textNous avons démontré que la phosphorylation de la MLC2 après des transformations phénotypiques du muscle à long terme est corrélée aux changements phénotypiques, avec une augmentation de phosphorylation lors de transformations lent -> rapide (hypodynamie-hypokinésie, dénervation du soleus, clenbuterol), et une diminution lors de transformations rapide -> lent (hypergravité du soleus, dénervation de l'EDL, électrosimulation chronique à basse fréquence de l'EDL). La corrélation entre la phosphorylation de la MLC2 et les changements phénotypiques induits par altération de la commande nerveuse ne semble pas exclusivement dépendante de la voie calcineurine-NFAT. Enfin, la régulation de la phosphorylation s'établit par une modulation de l'expression du rapport MLCK/MP. Nous avons donc proposé l'hypothèse que l'augmentation de phosphorylation observée lors de l'expression du phénotype musculaire rapide, permettrait l'établissement d'un niveau de phosphorylation basal dans le muscle rapide, lui permettant de répondre aux contraintes liées à la fatigue après effort de façon transitoire mais performante, comme révélé lors des analyses de la phosphorylation à court terme

Full textWith the need to develop an artificial organ replacing the human finger in the case of a deficiency and the need to understand how this physiological system works, an inverse physical model of the finger system for estimating neuronal activations from the movement, is necessary. Despite the large number of studies in the human hand modeling, almost there is no inverse physical model of the middle finger system that focuses on search neuronal activations. Al most all existing models have focused on the research of the muscle forces and muscle activations. The purpose of the manuscript is to present a neuromusculoskeletal model of the human middle finger system for estimating neuronal activations, muscle activations and muscle forces of all the acting muscles after movement analysis. The aim of such models is to represent the essential characteristics of the movement with the best possible realism. Our job is to study, model and simulate the movement of the human finger. The innovation of the proposed model is the coupling between the biomechanical and neurophysiological aspects to simulate the complete inverse movement chain from dynamic finger data to neuronal intents that control muscle activations. Another innovation is the design of a specific experimental protocol that treats both the multichannel sEMG and kinematic data from a data capture procedure of the movement

Full textPurpose: In clinical practice routinely used method of TOF test is visual method of interpretation. This method does not provide completely reliable data in period of spontaneous recovery from neuromuscular blockade. It is necessary to investigate possibility of application of more specific and more accurate method in TOF monitoring, such as quantitative TOF method. Determination of difference between the values of T1 and T4 muscle contraction, obtained by quantitative TOF method, may indicate the presence of neuromuscular blockade on tested muscle. In addition to this, by application of quantitative TOF method, it is necessary to determine is there a difference in period of recovery from neuromuscular blockade between defferent muscles. Comparison of T4/T1 ratios between different muscles may indicate presence of different period of recovery from neuromuscular blockade. Methods: Study analyzed differences between recovery of foot - abductor hallucis muscle and hand - first dorsal interosseous muscle by application of quantitative TOF test on 147 patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery. T1 to T4 decrements on hand and foot TOF were determined and classified into different groups, depending of neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA) dose and elapsed time after administration. T1 - T4 decrements were compared between hand and foot TOF and differences between muscle recovery were determined. Visual method of TOF test was performed by anesthesiologists, by using peripheral nerve stimulator and stimulating ulnar nerve. Quantitative TOF test was measured on first dorsal interosseous muscle, and compared with visual TOF results obtained on adductor pollicis muscle. Results: There are significant differences between T1 - T4 decrements obtained on tested muscles of hand and foot (p<0.05). T1-T4 decrement determined on abductor hallucis muscle had lower values, respectively more rapid recovery, than first dorsal interosseous muscle (p<0.05). Quantitative method of TOF test had reliable and correct results in all tested subjects, while visual interpretation of TOF method showed accurate results in 40 % of all cases. Results indicated that significant difference was present between quantitative and visual method of TOF interpretation. Conclusions: Difference between observed recovery of hand and foot muscles is indicating that quantitative TOF test should be performed on specific site for which accurate data about the level of neuromuscular blockade is needed. During lumbar spine surgery, in addition to hand TOF, foot TOF should be included as it provides more accurate data needed for neurophysiological intraoperative monitoring. Quantitative TOF method provides more accurate data about level of neuromuscular blockade if compared with subjective visual TOF method.

Full textThe overall objective of this thesis was to compare the effect of fatigue of the quadriceps femoris after fatiguing voluntary contractions (VOL) and fatiguing neuromuscular electrical stimulation (ES) on bipedal postural control, and central fatigue. The results show that after unilateral or bilateral muscle fatigue, the ES exercise affected the muscle strength more than the VOL exercise. However, bipedal postural control was similarly deteriorated for both exercises. Moreover, the recovery speeds of postural control and muscle strength abilities did not differ for the both exercises. In addition, the VOL exercise alters central drive quicker than the ES exercise immediately after their completion while the ES exercise delays and prolongs the central fatigue. As the VOL exercise is induced by central command and the ES exercise is generated by artificial external stimulation, one can hypothesize that the VOL exercise especially produces supraspinal fatigue, while the ES exercise especially engenders spinal fatigue
