Motor unit recruitment cannot be inferred from surface EMG amplitude and basic reporting standards must be adhered to

Andrew D Vigotsky et al. Eur J Appl Physiol. 2016 Mar.

Abstract

The study by Jenkins et al. attempted to elucidate the mechanisms behind the findings of Mitchell et al. (J Appl Physiol 113(1):71-77, 2012). However, we believe the work of Jenkins et al. contains methodological issues, does not meet electromyographic reporting standards, and deduces conclusions beyond which can be interpreted from the data provided.

Keywords: Electromyography; Motor unit recruitment.
