description | <p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>We aimed to investigate the effect of rest interval, between successive contractions, on muscular fatigue.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>Eighteen subjects performed elbow flexion and extension (30 repetitions) on an isokinetic dynamometer with 80º of range of motion. The flexion velocity was 120º/s, while for elbow extension we used 5 different velocities (30, 75, 120, 240, 360º/s), producing 5 different rest intervals (2.89, 1.28, 0.85, 0.57 and 0.54 s).</p> <p>Results</p> <p>We observed that when the rest interval was 2.89 s there was a reduction in fatigue. On the other hand, when the rest interval was 0.54 s the fatigue was increased.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>When the resting time was lower (0.54 s) the decline of work in the flexor muscle group was higher compared with different rest interval duration.</p> |
