Popis: This study investigated the influence of passive tension on Hoffmann reflex during the loading (muscle stretched by passive joint movement) and unloading phase (joint returned to initial position) of muscle stretching. The maximal H‐reflex amplitude (H max) was recorded in soleus in 19 young adults during the loading and unloading phases of a passive 30° dorsiflexion, from 90° ankle angle (reference position). H max was evoked at similar angles (protocol‐1) or similar passive torque (PT; protocol‐2) during the loading and unloading phases, or during two loading phases separated by a 5‐min stretch hold at 30° ankle dorsiflexion relative to the reference position (protocol‐3). Homosynaptic depression (HD) was assessed with paired H reflexes (0.5‐s interstimulus interval) during the loading and unloading phases (protocol‐4; n=13). In protocol‐1, PT was lesser and H max greater during the unloading than the loading phase (p
Hypothetical mechanisms involved in the increase in the responsiveness of the H‐reflex pathway with the decrease in passive tension of the muscle‐tendon unit in response to acute stretching (PAD: primary afferent depolarisation interneurons).
