... at the same muscle length and level of activation, are referred to as residual force enhancement (rFE) and residual force depression (rFD), respectively. The purpose of these experiments was to investigate the trainability of rFE and rFD on the basis of serial sarcomere number (SSN) alterations to history...

...Kaleena Johnston; Eng Kuan Moo; Azim Jinha; Walter Herzog ABSTRACT Sarcomere length (SL) instability and SL non-uniformity have been used to explain fundamental properties of skeletal muscles, such as creep, force depression following active muscle shortening and residual force enhancement...

... conditions (271±70%). The contribution of tendon elongation to the SSC effect was negligible for the rat soleus. Other factors, such as pre-activation and residual force enhancement, may cause the large SSC effects and need to be evaluated. * Author for correspondence ( [email protected]...

...Atsuki Fukutani; Walter Herzog ABSTRACT The mechanical work attained during muscle fibre shortening is increased by prior stretching. Recently, we suggested that residual force enhancement (RFE) may contribute to this enhanced work. RFE can be changed reliably by changing the stretch magnitude...

... Residual force enhancement Concentric muscle contraction Eccentric muscle contraction Isometric muscle contraction Force at the steady state following active shortening of a skeletal muscle is reduced compared with the force produced after a purely isometric contraction performed at the same...
