Pre-activation affects the effect of stretch-shortening cycle by modulating fascicle behavior

The torque attained during active shortening is enhanced after an active stretch (stretch-shortening cycle, SSC). This study examined the influence of pre-activation on fascicle behavior and the SSC effect. Subjects exhibited the following three conditions by electrically induced plantar flexions. I...
