FIGURE 3.

Peak force output, half‐relaxation time, and relative half‐relaxation rate for potentiated twitch contractions (a–c) or tetanic (100 Hz) contractions (d–f) at baseline and 0–24 h after six sets of low‐load resistance exercise to task failure (RE_TF; black circles), low‐load resistance exercise to task failure with BFR applied intermittently during exercise sets (BFR_INT; blue circles), low‐load resistance exercise to task failure with BFR applied continuously (BFR_CONT; maroon circles), and low‐load resistance exercise volume matched (RE_VM; grey circles) to the condition with the lowest total number of repetitions. ANOVA P‐values with partial eta (η_p ²) are provided in each panel. *P < 0.05 versus baseline; †P < 0.05 versus RE_VM at the same time point; ‡P < 0.05 versus RE_TF at the same time point. The colour of each symbol represents significantly different conditions. Data are expressed as means + standard deviation (n = 15/condition). All individual responses can be found in the Supporting information.
