Abstract: After an active muscle stretch, maintaining a certain amount of force in the following isometric phase is accompanied by less muscle activation compared to an isometric contraction without preceding active stretch at the corresponding muscle… read more here.

Abstract: A rowing cycle is characterized by a stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) at the quadriceps femoris muscle-tendon unit (MTU) level. However, due to the associated decoupling between MTU and muscle fascicle length changes, it remains unclear whether… read more here.
