Measurements of tendon length changes during stretch–shortening cycles in rat soleus
Abstract The muscle force attained during concentric contractions is augmented by a preceding eccentric contraction (the stretch–shortening cycle (SSC) effect). At present, tendon elongation is considered the primary mechanism. However, we recently found that the magnitude of the SSC effect was not...
