Contribution of neural modulations to reduced residual force depression after stretch-shortening cycles

The aim of this study was to investigate and evaluate the role of mechanical and neural modulations after stretch-shortening cycles (SSCs). Net ankle joint torque and H-reflexes of triceps surae were obtained during different tetanic contraction conditions, elicited by tibial nerve stimulation. While residual force enhancement (rFE) contributed to enhanced SSC performance, H-reflex modulations did not
