Neuromuscular fatigue differences between prepubertal boys and men after maximal concentric versus eccentric isokinetic knee extensions.
Trial report in European journal of applied physiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThis study aimed to compare the neuromuscular fatigue between prepubertal boys and men induced by eccentric and concentric maximal contractions.
methodsTwelve prepubertal boys and twelve men conducted one familiarization and two randomized experimental sessions, including a concentric (CONC) or eccentric (ECC) fatiguing protocol composed of three sets of 30 maximal isokinetic contractions. Maximal voluntary isometric contractions (MVIC) were realized before the fatiguing protocol, after each set, five minutes and one hour after the end of the last set. Measurements included torque and electromyographic activity (EMG) of vastus lateralis (VL) and rectus femoris (RF) muscles during the MVIC and the dynamic contractions of the fatiguing protocol.
resultsA significantly lower decrease of the MVIC torque was observed for boys in comparison to men after the second and third sets of the fatigue protocol (p < 0.001), independently of the modality. Additionally, lower RF EMG during MVIC were observed for boys than for men during the CONC session, while no difference was observed during the ECC session. During dynamic contractions, a lower torque decrease was observed for boys than for men during the whole fatigue exercise in the CONC session (p < 0.001), while no group difference in the ECC session. No age group difference was observed in EMG during the dynamic contractions.
conclusionsFrom the present results, boys presented a lower MVIC decrease than men, suggesting lower fatigue regardless of the condition. Thus, the concentric, particularly, and the eccentric solicitations could represent interesting training modalities with prepubertal boys.
