Force depression following a stretch-shortening cycle is independent of stretch peak force and work performed during shortening
Abstract The steady-state isometric force following active muscle shortening or lengthening is smaller (force depression; FD) or greater (residual force enhancement; RFE) than a purely isometric contraction at the corresponding length. The mechanisms behind these phenomena remain not fully understoo...
