Neuromuscular characteristics of eccentric, concentric and isometric contractions of the knee extensors
The lower voluntary drive indicated by reduced VA during ECC may be partly explained by lower corticospinal excitability, while the shorter CSP may reflect extra muscle spindle excitation of the motoneurons from vastus lateralis muscle lengthening.
