Muscle function and size in the lumbar spine before and after a four week exercise intervention.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:The common description of muscular fatigue is the failure of muscle in maintaining a target force. Even in sustained contraction, when muscle force is held at a stable level, physiological, biomechanical and electromyographic changes can occur. The purpose of this study is to compare the effec...
