Residual force enhancement in humans: current evidence and unresolved issues
Following an active lengthening contraction while maintaining activation constant, isometric
force is elevated above that of a purely isometric contraction at the same final muscle length …

Residual force depression is not related to positive muscle fascicle work during submaximal voluntary dorsiflexion contractions in humans
BJ Raiteri, L Lauret, D Hahn - The Journal of Physiology, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Residual force depression (rFD) following active muscle shortening is assumed to correlate
most strongly with muscle work, but this has not been tested during voluntary contractions in …

Eccentric exercise≠ eccentric contraction
Whether eccentric exercise involves active fascicle stretch is unclear due to muscle-tendon
unit (MTU) series compliance. Therefore, this study investigated the impact of changing the …
