Key result
The authors hypothesize that the contribution of impaired excitation-contraction coupling processes to prolonged low-frequency force depression is task-dependent.
Why the study?
It is hypothesized that the contribution of impaired excitation-contraction coupling processes to prolonged low-frequency force depression is task dependent and differs between metabolically and mechanically demanding exercises.
This paper discusses the hypothesis that mechanisms underlying prolonged low-frequency force depression are task-dependent.
Hypothesis of task-dependent ECC contribution to PLFFD is untested; leaves open mechanism-specific fatigue assessments.
Prolonged low-frequency force depression (PLFFD) is an intramuscular phenomenon involving the slow recovery of submaximal muscle strength following strenuous exercise. We hypothesize that the contribution of impaired excitation-contraction coupling processes to PLFFD is task dependent, and that they will be different between metabolically and mechanically demanding exercises. We also discuss evidence of the effectiveness of interventions to mitigate PLFFD.
