Values are expressed as means ± SD. MVC, maximal voluntary contraction; PS10, paired stimuli at 10 Hz; PS100, paired stimuli at 100 Hz; SS, single stimulus; TETANUS, tetanic stimulation at 100 Hz; TT, time trial. Significantly different from pre-TT value: *P < 0.05; significantly different from 20% during the TT: †P < 0.05; significantly different from 40% during the TT: ‡P < 0.05; significantly different from 100% (=0 min) in rest after TT: §P < 0.05.
