Description
The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not there is a significant increase in the muscle activity of the vastus lateralis at different stages of a resistance ramp test to fatigue during cycling. The vastus lateralis is the quadriceps muscle on the lateral side of the leg. Basically, this study is figuring out if this muscle is more active at a higher power, or higher resistance, during cycling.
