Persistence of SR attenuation after 3- to 5-min rest. A–C: after attenuation in trials with 20° stretches, the SR size was not restored when stretches were resumed at a high (70°) magnitude after 3–5 min of rest (data for subject S3 in C, P = 0.322). D: the difference between the mean SR responses during the last ten 20° stretches and subsequent 70° stretches was insignificant (P > 0.05). E: the transition from block 1 to block 2 could be associated with a significant decrease in the SR responses (example for subject 4, *P < 0.001). Calibration bar for EMG signals in A and B: 200 μV.
