In fact, the winner of a recent contest to find the world&#8217;s fastest drummer (WFD) can perform such movements using a handheld drumstick at 10\u00a0Hz, which corresponds to an ITI of 100\u00a0ms. Because the contest measured only the number of taps by the WFD, we examined the stability of the ITI and the underlying wrist muscle activity of the WFD. By comparing the performance and wrist muscle activity of the WFD with those of two control groups (non-drummers (NDs) and ordinary skilled drummers (ODs)), we found that the WFD had a relatively stable ITI and more pronounced reciprocal wrist muscle activity during the 10-Hz performance. Our result indicates that very fast, stable tapping performance can be achieved by keeping the wrist joint compliant rather than stiff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more details: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0304394009005795\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0304394009005795 (opens in a new tab)\">https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0304394009005795<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fujii S., Kudo K., Ohtsuki T., &amp; Oda S.
