Animal data on fatigue-potentiation coexistence should not influence practice; extends basic muscle physiology but leaves human relevance open.
Demonstrates that twitch potentiation can coexist with tetanic force decline (fatigue) in rat hindlimb muscles, particularly in the least fatigable fast-contracting muscles.
Rankin et al. (1988) studied this question.
