Prolongation of twitch potentiating mechanism throughout muscle fatigue and recovery
Abstract
Measurements have been made of twitch amplitudes in human ankle dorsiflexor muscles during and following fatiguing electrical stimulation. In six subjects, studied with the arterial circulation occluded, the twitch was observed to undergo an early potentiation (mean, 99 +/- 50%) followed by complete disappearance. A second, smaller phase of potentiation (mean, 25 +/- 30%) occurred during recovery and gave way to prolonged depression of the …
