Are sex differences in force steadiness due to dissimilar motor unit activity between men and women?
Force steadiness (FS) is the ability to maintain a constant isometric contraction around a given force level and is expressed as the coefficient of variation (CV) of force. Although it has recently been shown that men are steadier than women in the elbow flexor muscles, the primary mechanism for th...
