Abstract: Quantifying prolonged low-frequency force depression (PLFFD) with the gold-standard 1-s trains presents challenges so paired-pulses have been used. Owing to greater impairment of high-frequency doublet than tetanic torque, paired-pulses underestimate PLFFD. This study aimed to… read more here.

Abstract: Prolonged low-frequency force depression (PLFFD) after damaging eccentric exercise may last for several days. Historically, PLFFD has been calculated from the tetanic force responses to trains of supramaximal stimuli. More recently, for methodological reasons, stimulation… read more here.
