Residual force depression is not related to positive muscle fascicle work during submaximal voluntary dorsiflexion contractions in humans
Residual force depression (rFD) following active muscle shortening is assumed to correlate
most strongly with muscle work, but this has not been tested during voluntary contractions in …

Eccentric exercise≠ eccentric contraction
Whether eccentric exercise involves active fascicle stretch is unclear due to muscle-tendon
unit (MTU) series compliance. Therefore, this study investigated the impact of changing the …
