Table 2.
Determination of the relaxation time
pre-Tpeak (sec) | Tpeak (sec) | post-Tpeak (sec) | |
15% MVC | 2.0 ± 0.2 | 3.9 ± 0.4 | 5.7 ± 0.4 |
30% MVC | 2.3 ± 0.1 | 4.6 ± 0.3 | 6.7 ± 0.3 |
50% MVC | 2.1 ± 0.1 | 3.9 ± 0.2 | 5.8 ± 0.4 |
(Mean ± SE) |
Data are the relaxation time calculated using the time to reaching peak blood flow after a single contraction.
