Fatigue in the legs is a problem experienced by skiers. It has been suggested that optimal orthotics may reduce muscle fatigue for a given movement task by minimising muscle activity (Med. Sci. Sports Exerc. 31 (1999) S421). The aims were to determin... Read More about The effect of foot orthotics on myoelectric fatigue in the vastus lateralis during a simulated skier's squat.
