We studied the relation between two common force modifications in skeletal muscle: the
prolonged force depression induced by unaccustomed eccentric contractions, and the …

In a recent manuscript, Edman (1996) reported that force depression following shortening
was a transient phenomenon. A transient response would not fit into the mechanism of force …

When an isometric muscle contraction is immediately preceded by an active shortening
contraction, a reduction in steady-state isometric force is observed relative to an isometric …

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the isometric muscle force,
redeveloped following maximal-effort voluntary shortening contractions in human skeletal …

The depression of isometric force after active shortening is a well-accepted characteristic of
skeletal muscle, yet its mechanisms remain unknown. Although traditionally analyzed at …

During lengthening of an activated skeletal muscle, the force maintained following the
stretch is greater than the isometric force at the same muscle length. This is termed residual …

The force maintained following stretching of an active muscle exceeds the isometric force at
the same muscle length. This residual force enhancement (RFE) is different for various …

Force depression following muscle shortening was investigated in cat soleus (n= 6) at 37° C
for a variety of contractile conditions with the aim to test the hypotheses that force depression …

Force depression after active shortening has been observed in different muscle
preparations. It has been assumed that force depression is caused by the development of …

Despite numerous reports on isometric force depression, few reports have quantified force
depression during active muscle shortening (dynamic force depression). The purpose of this …
