Greater force with optimized patterns in cat fast-twitch units during fatigue; extends preclinical data but leaves open human translation.
An optimized stimulation pattern with short initial interpulse intervals produces significantly more force than a regular pattern in fast-twitch motor units of cat hindlimb muscle during fatiguing contractions.
Bevan et al. (1992) studied this question.
