Background The electromyographic threshold (EMG Th) has been suggested to indicate the onset of accelerated higher-threshold (type-II) MU recruitment. Previous research has demonstrated that boys' EMG Th occurs at higher relative exercise intensities than men's in both cycling-and isometric-based testing. Girls‒women EMG Th differences were demonstrated only in cycling, but findings were clouded by low EMG Th-detection rates in women (68%) and particularly in girls (45%) Purpose To examine the EMG Th, in girls and …
