Popis: Abstract This study determined the discharge characteristics of motor units from two lower limb muscles before and after fatiguing exercise in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) with no symptoms of polyneuropathy and activity‐matched controls. Seventeen people with T2D (65.0 ± 5.6 years; 8 women) and 17 controls (63.6 ± 4.5 years; 8 women) performed: (a) intermittent, isometric contractions at 50% maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) sustained to failure with the ankle dorsiflexors, and (b) a dynamic fatiguing task (30% MVIC load) for 6 min with the knee extensors. Before and after the fatiguing tasks, motor unit characteristics (including coefficient of variation (CV) of interspike intervals (ISI)) were quantified from high‐density electromyography and muscle contractile properties were assessed via electrical stimulation. Fatigability was ~50% greater for people with T2D than controls for the dorsiflexors (time‐to‐failure: 7.3 ± 4.1 vs. 14.3 ± 9.1 min, p = .010) and knee extensors (power reduction: 56.7 ± 11.9 vs. 31.5 ± 25.5%, p
