Figure 2.
Post-isometric relaxation and reciprocal inhibition. Neuromuscular actions are mediated by Golgi tendon organs and inhibitory interneurons of the spinal cord [10]. (A) Contraction of agonist (adductor), and the reflexive post-isometric relaxation of the same muscle. (B) Contraction of antagonist (abductor), and the reciprocal inhibition/relaxation of the agonist (adductor).
