Energy Cost of Force Production After a Stretch-Shortening Cycle in Skinned Muscle Fibers: Does Muscle Efficiency Increase? [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Muscle force is enhanced during shortening when shortening is preceded by an active stretch. This phenomenon is known as the stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) effect.

Pre-activation affects the effect of stretch-shortening cycle by modulating fascicle behavior [PDF]
Biology Open, 2019 The torque attained during active shortening is enhanced after an active stretch (stretch-shortening cycle, SSC). This study examined the influence of pre-activation on fascicle behavior and the SSC effect.

Evidence for Muscle Cell-Based Mechanisms of Enhanced Performance in Stretch-Shortening Cycle in Skeletal Muscle [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Force attained during concentric contraction (active shortening) is transiently enhanced following eccentric contraction (active stretch) in skeletal muscle. This phenomenon is called stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) effect.

Maximal eccentric–concentric strength determines stretch-shortening cycle leg power across biological sexes [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe ratio of eccentric-to-concentric force output (E/C ratio) is higher in female compared to male individuals, however, the functional implications for stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) leg power output remains unknown. Thus, in the present study, male and

The Influence of Growth and Maturation on Stretch-Shortening Cycle Function in Youth. [PDF]
Sports Med, 2018 Hopping, skipping, jumping and sprinting are common tasks in both active play and competitive sports. These movements utilise the stretch-shortening cycle (SSC), which is considered a naturally occurring muscle action for most forms of human locomotion.
