Changes in neuromuscular function with an all-out intermittent isometric single-leg knee-extensor exercise test
| Preexercise | Postexercise | %Δ Preexercise to Postexercise | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Qtw, N | 187 ± 26 | 89 ± 46† | −52 ± 26 |
| VA, % | 91 ± 5 | 80 ± 12† | −12 ± 11 |
| CTQtw, ms | 79 ± 9 | 69 ± 8† | −13 ± 28 |
| 0.5RTQtw, ms | 54 ± 7 | 49 ± 22 | −12 ± 6 |
Values are means ± SD. Qtw, potentiated quadriceps twitch force; VA, voluntary activation; CTQtw, contraction time; 0.5RTQtw, half-relaxation time.
†
Significantly different from preexercise.
