Differences are displayed as 95% CI (LL, UL) and effect size, no P-values are displayed as no significant main effects were observed.
Results displayed are maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC), torque at 75 ms (T75ms), 20 Hz:variable frequency train ratio (20:VFT), 20 Hz:80 Hz ratio (20:80), time to peak twitch (ttw,p), peak twitch torque (Ttw,p), peak twitch half relaxation time (t1/2).
