The interaction of post-activation potentiation and fatigue on skeletal muscle twitch torque and displacement by Georg Langen, Georg Langen, Frank Warschun, Olaf Ueberschär, Olaf Ueberschär, Michael Behringer

“…Consequently, TMG parameters could not accurately detect potentiated or fatigued participants as indicated by the peak twitch torque.DiscussionThe TMG parameters’ insufficient diagnostic accuracy likely resulted from a reduced signal-to-noise ratio at 90° knee flexion and the associated longer muscle length of the RF, compared to more extended knee angles commonly employed in TMG studies. These results highlight an important methodological consideration as the joint angle, i.e. muscle length, appears to influence the TMG parameters’ ability to detect exercise-induced changes in contractile properties.…”
