Postactivation potentiation of force is independent of h-reflex excitability.

Abstract:

UNLABELLED:The contractile history of muscle can potentiate electrically evoked force production. A link to voluntary force production, related in part to an increase in reflex excitability, has been suggested. PURPOSE:Our purpose was to quantify the effect of postactivation potentiation on voluntary force production and spinal H-reflex excitability during explosive plantar flexion actions. METHODS:Plantar flexor twitch torque, soleus H-reflex amplitudes, and the rate of force development of explosive plantar flexion were measured before and after 4 separate conditioning trials (3 x 5 s maximal contractions). RESULTS:Twitch torque and rate of force production during voluntary explosive plantar flexion were significantly increased (P < .05) while H-reflex amplitudes remained unchanged. Although twitch torque was significantly higher after conditioning, leading to a small increase in the rate of voluntary force production, this was unrelated to changes in reflex excitability. CONCLUSION:We conclude that postactivation potentiation may result in a minor increase in the rate of voluntary isometric force production that is unrelated to neural excitability.
