Passive recovery (PR), active recovery (AR), stretching (ST), electromyostimulation (EMS). The last column represents an average of the four modalities values. Doublet peak torque (Pd), maximal voluntary contraction (MVC), activation level, root mean square (RMS), peak-to-peak amplitude of the M-wave (M-wave) and coactivation measured before (Pre S1) and after (Post S6) the isokinetic session.*: Significantly different from values Pre S1 (p < 0.05).
