Repeated stretch-shortening cycles enhance force and work despite brief deactivation between cycles

Tobias van Elst, Sven Weidner, André Tomalka, Daniel Hahn et al.

Short summary

Repeated stretch-shortening cycles (SSCs) progressively enhance peak force (14.6%) and total work (50.1%) from the first to the third cycle, even with brief deactivation between cycles, suggesting a 'sarcomeric memory' effect.
