Enoka, Roger M. Eccentric contractions require unique activation strategies by the nervous
system. J. Appl. Physiol. 81 (6): 2339–2346, 1996.—Eccentric contractions occur when …

ABSTRACT A number of studies over the last few decades have established that the control
strategy employed by the nervous system during lengthening (eccentric) differs from those …

Objective: To discuss the proper methods used to elicit the Hoffmann reflex (H-reflex) and to
present different situations in which this tool can be used in sports medicine research. Data …

Eccentric exercise is characterized by initial unfavorable effects such as subcellular muscle
damage, pain, reduced fiber excitability, and initial muscle weakness. However, stretch …

1. We have investigated the possibility that voluntary muscle lengthening contractions can
be performed by selective recruitment of fast‐twitch motor units, accompanied by …

Performance in sprint exercise is determined by the ability to accelerate, the magnitude of
maximal velocity and the ability to maintain velocity against the onset of fatigue. These …

It was demonstrated that the soleus H-reflex was depressed for more than 10 s following a
preceding passive dorsiflexion of the ankle joint. This depression was caused by activation …

The technique of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) allows cortical motor
areas to be activated by trains of magnetic stimuli at different frequencies and intensities. In …

This review revolves primarily around segmental feedback systems established by muscle
spindle and Golgi tendon organ afferents, as well as spinal recurrent inhibition via Renshaw …
