Table 1. Relative fatigue immediately after the Nordic hamstring protocol and recovery status at 48 h.

Population	Mean MVC decline at T1 vs T0	MVC at T4 under CC (% of baseline)	MVC at T4 under sham (% of baseline)	Stiffness at T4 under CC (% of baseline)	Stiffness at T4 under sham (% of baseline)
MMA athletes	25.3%	96.1%	87.7%	118.0%	150.6%
Young adults	30.4%	76.3%	61.1%	118.0%	161.0%
Older adults	35.0%	69.1%	46.2%	132.1%	162.5%

Values >100% for stiffness indicate residual stiffness above baseline; MVC: maximal voluntary contraction.
