Effects of gender and unloading on peak torque.

Men (N=12) Women (N=12)
Movement velocity Pre-unloading Post-unloading Pre-unloading Post-unloading
0 rads/s 150.5 ± 13.5 131.1 ± 14.1* 104.0 ± 7.5 80.8 ± 5.0*
0.53 rads/s 157.5 ± 11.9 143.7 ± 12.0* 103.0 ± 5.9 89.3 ± 5.2*
1.05 rads/s 144.6 ± 8.9 140.2 ± 9.2 98.7 ± 4.4 88.9 ± 4.3*
2.09 rads/s 134.5 ± 8.3 127.8 ± 7.4 83.2 ± 3.1 77.2 ± 3.6*

Values are means ± SE. Units are Newtons at 0 rads/s, and Newton meters during dynamic contractions.

*

indicates significant (P ≤ 0.05) pre- to post-unloading difference within same gender.

indicates significant (P ≤ 0.05) difference from men at the same time point, i.e., pre- or post-unloading.
