Popis: Introduction: We examined the extent to which fatiguing cycling exercise in the heat influences contractile function in modulating the force–frequency relationship. Methods: Before (∽37.0°C) and after (∽38.5°C) exercise (ExH) and passive (PaH) hyperthermia, an 8-s train of stimulation at 10, 20, 50, and 100 Hz (2 s per frequency) and a potentiated twitch were evoked on the relaxed knee extensors using percutaneous stimulation. Results: ExH and PaH produced a decrease in the 20:50 Hz force ratio, indicative of low-frequency fatigue (P
