Fig. 4. Sustained effect of eccentric exercise on post-tetanic potentiation (PTP) at different muscle lengths. The increase in submaximal force ({Delta}F) of muscles in the potentiated compared with the non-potentiated condition was calculated before (closed triangles) and 80 min after (open triangles) eccentric exercise. Different effects of muscle length were found in the pre-compared with the post-exercise condition. On average, PTP had similar effects (P>0.05) preand post-exercise. However, post-exercise, PTP was significantly lower at short and higher at long muscle lengths than pre-exercise. Data are presented as mean ± S.E.M. *Significant difference between pre- and post-exercise condition.
