... 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...

...Dominic James Farris; Grant Trewartha; M. Polly McGuigan; Glen A. Lichtwark SUMMARY The human Achilles tendon (AT) has often been considered to act as a single elastic structure in series with the muscles of the triceps surae. As such it has been commonly modelled as a Hookean spring of uniform...
