The aim of the study was to assess the potential influence of footedness and dominance on maximal force, force fluctuations and neural drive during dorsiflexion. Fifteen left-footed (LF) and fifteen right-footed (RF) young adults performed 2 maximal voluntary contractions (MVC) and 3 steady submaximal isometric contractions at five target forces (5, 10, 20, 40 and 60% MVC) with the dorsiflexors of both legs. High-density electromyography (EMG) was used to record the discharge characteristics of motor units (MUs) of Tibialis Anterior...
