In contrast to isometric and shortening contractions, many observations made on actively
lengthening muscles cannot be readily explained with the sliding filament and cross-bridge …

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 …

Force enhancement is a well accepted property of skeletal muscle and has been observed
at all structural levels ranging from single myofibrils to voluntarily activated m. quadriceps …

To determine the effect of muscle activation on the dynamic responses of the neck of a pilot
during simulated emergency ejections. A complete finite element model of the pilot's head …

Stretch-induced residual force enhancement (rFE) is associated with increased performance
in a stretch–shortening cycle (SSC). Although the influence of different range of motions and …

The increase and decrease in steady-state isometric force following active muscle
lengthening and shortening are referred to as residual force enhancement (RFE) and force …

Stretch of activated muscles leads to enhanced forces compared to isometric contractions at
the same muscle length and the same level of activation. This so-called residual force …

Objective: We reviewed and appraised the existing evidence of in vivo manifestations of
residual force enhancement in human skeletal muscles and assessed, through a meta …

Muscles undergo cycles of length change and force development during locomotion, and
these contribute to their work and power production to drive body motion. Muscle fibers are …

A systematic literature search was conducted to review the evidence of residual force
enhancement (RFE) in vivo human muscle. The search, adhered to the PRISMA statement …
