Neuromuscular fatigue induced by the combined application of neuromuscular electrical stimulation and muscle lengthening

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Results of the present study indicate that a single session of WPHF stimulation modality either applied alone or with muscle lengthening induces the same level of neuromuscular fatigue. Despite no significant difference in total evoked torque between sessions, the present findings highlight potential advantages of superimposing muscle lengthening to preserve torque production during repeated WPHF trains.
