Individual values for the b terms (slopes) from the electromyographic amplitude (EMGRMS)-force relationship for the aerobically- (AT), resistance-trained (RT), and sedentary (SED) from the linearly increasing and decreasing segments of the isometric trapezoidal contractions. Horizontal bars indicate the means and 95% confidence intervals for the respective groups. ∗ indicates greater b terms for RT than AT (p = 0.008) and SED (p = 0.008) during the linearly increasing segment of the first contraction. # indicates greater b terms for RT during the linearly increasing segment than decreasing segment of first contraction (p = 0.014). † indicates greater b terms for RT than AT during the linearly increasing segment of the last contraction (p = 0.018). § indicates greater b terms for RT than AT for the linearly decreasing segment of the last contraction (p = 0.010). ‡ indicates lower b terms for SED during the linearly increasing segment than decreasing segment of last contraction (p = 0.015).
