This study aimed to determine whether neural drive is redistributed between muscles during a fatiguing isometric contraction, and if so, whether the initial level of common synaptic input between these muscles constrains this redistribution. We studied two muscle groups: triceps surae (14 participants) and quadriceps (15 participants). Participants performed a series of submaximal isometric contractions and a torque-matched contraction maintained until task failure. We used high-density surface electromyography to identify the behavior of 1,874 motor units from the soleus, gastrocnemius medialis (GM), gastrocnemius lateralis (GL), rectus femoris, vastus lateralis (VL), and vastus medialis (VM). We assessed the level of common drive between muscles in the absence of fatigue using a coherence analysis. We also assessed the redistribution of neural drive between muscles during the fatiguing contraction through the correlation between their cumulative spike trains (index of neural drive). The level of common drive between VL and VM was significantly higher than that observed for the other muscle pairs, including GL-GM. The level of common drive increased during the fatiguing contraction, but the differences between muscle pairs persisted. We also observed a strong positive correlation of neural drive between VL and VM during the fatiguing contraction ( = 0.82). This was not observed for the other muscle pairs, including GL-GM, which exhibited differential changes in neural drive. These results suggest that less common synaptic input between muscles allows for more flexible coordination strategies during a fatiguing task, i.e., differential changes in neural drive across muscles. The role of this flexibility on performance remains to be elucidated. Redundancy of the neuromuscular system theoretically allows for a redistribution of the neural drive across muscles (i.e., between-muscle compensation) during a fatiguing contraction. Our results suggest that a high level of common input between muscles (e.g., vastus lateralis and medialis) represents a neural constraint making it less likely to redistribute the neural drive across these muscles. In this way, redistribution was only observed across muscles that share little common synaptic input (e.g., gastrocnemius lateralis and medialis).
