Using the fatigue protocol described by Lewis and Fulco (1998), we have recently shown untrained women have a slower rate of inspiratory muscle fatigue than untrained men during intermittent isometric exercise (Gonzales and Scheuermann, 2006), consistent with findings in the adductor pollicis muscle (Fulco et al.

In contrast, they were unable to show the recruitment of more motor units in the adductor pollicis muscle after that muscle produced about 50% of its maximum force; the remainder of the force had to be produced by rate coding, that is, by increasing the frequency with which the already active motor units were driven.

Motor unit recruitment and the gradation of muscle force
