Post-Activation Potentiation and Fatigue in Quadriceps Femoral Muscle after a 5 s Maximal Voluntary Isometric Contraction [PDF]
Following an acute physical exercise, both post-activation potentiation and fatigue of the neuromuscular apparatus may occur. The voluntary recruitment of motor units occurs with frequencies that elicit incompletely fused tetanic contractions and these ...
