Last Word on Point: Counterpoint: Spectral properties of the surface EMG can characterize/do not provide information about motor unit recruitment strategies and muscle fiber type

摘要

To the editor: A large number of researchers have constructively contributed to the debate (2). They addressed topics that because of the limited length of the article were left out and were therefore not discussed. However, one argument should be discussed here. Stegeman (see Ref. 1) argued in his comments that animal results should be taken with care. A type-frequency relationship emerged based solely on studies on animals and in accordance with classical views on interference EMG. The type-frequency relationship states that slow type I and fast type II fibers contribute more low- and high-frequency components to the power spectrum, respectively. Experimental
