Popis: | Introduction: Our knowledge of the neurophysiol- ogy of post-activation potentiation (PAP) is limited. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of PAP on twitch torque and H-reflex amplitude after a 10-s maximal voluntary contrac- tion (MVC). Methods: PAP measurements were assessed with the plantarflexors in a relaxed state and during a tonic contrac- tion at 10% MVC. Results: The H-reflex/maximum M-wave ratio (H/M) decreased significantly (P |
