Knee joint angular displacement and angular velocity (kinematic parameters) at torque onset in explosive voluntary and evoked knee extensions completed in concentric (CON) and eccentric (ECC) conditions. p-values for paired differences between voluntary and evoked contractions are reported. Data are means ± s.d. (n = 14).

kinematic parameter	voluntary	evoked	p-value
CON angle	3.6 ± 1.2°	4.4 ± 0.8°	0.055
CON velocity	117 ± 24°.s−1	129 ± 16°.s−1	0.037
ECC angle	3.1 ± 1.6°	4.8 ± 1.6°	0.708
ECC velocity	−93 ± 38°.s−1	−123 ± 31°.s−1	0.086
