Changes in H-reflex, V-wave, and contractile properties of the plantar flexors following concurrent exercise sessions—the acute interference effect

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: All exercise modalities reduced maximal isometric strength; however, endurance exercise led to greater decreases in the rate of torque development. Resistance exercise negatively impacted supraspinal central neural drive, whereas both endurance and concurrent exercise significantly impaired spinal motoneuron responsiveness. Endurance and concurrent exercise also significantly reduced twitch contractile properties and evoked octet responses, with the most pronounced impairments observed following endurance-only exercise.
