Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to use the muscle tension and the electrical activity in the dominant and non-dominant forearm muscle‚ the flexor digitorum superficialis‚ to analyze the determinants of muscle tension and fatigue‚ and the reasons as to why differences may occur between the dominant and non-dominant arm. The generation of tension in a muscle is determined by the major type of motor unit being recruited‚ as well as the rate in which action potentials are being fired. A subject
