Peak knee flexion torque (Nm) at different hip joint positions, types of muscle action and angular velocities (*value collapsed for types of muscle action and angular velocity significantly lower compared with values at other hip flexion angles; & value collapsed for hip joint angle and angular velocity significantly different compared to the corresponding eccentric value; ^values collapsed across angles and types of muscle action were significantly lower than value at 60°·s−1).
