... affect twitch kinetics and contractile performance in response to a second stimulus. The series elastic element (SEE) of the human triceps surae ( N =15) was effectively stiffened by applying a 55 ms rotation to the ankle, through a range of 5 deg, at the onset of twitch and doublet [interstimulus...
