Acute Neuromuscular Fatigability and Perceived Exertion in High-Level University Pianists: An Electromyography and Maximum Force Capacity Study.

The absence of muscular performance fatigability during even the most intense piano performances suggests substantially differing mechanisms of fatigability and perceived exertion in pianists versus those commonly seen in sport athletes. Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms of acute fatigability in musicians and develop musician-specific management strategies.
