Influence of training history and contraction velocity on hamstring muscle coactivation during maximal effort knee extension
(East Carolina University, 2012)
When a muscle produces voluntary force, muscles on the opposite side of the joint, the antagonists, are also activated. While coactivation of the knee flexors during knee extension is presumed to increase joint stability ...

(East Carolina University, 2012)
Obese individuals exhibit skeletal muscle metabolic inflexibility by failing to increase fat oxidation and genes linked with mitochondrial biogenesis in response to a high-fat diet (HFD) and lipid incubation in cell culture. ...
