T - torque at 100 Hz electrical stimulation; T - torque at 20 Hz electrical stimulation; TT-torque ratio; SSC-stretch-shortening cycle exercise; CON-concentric exercise; asterisks denote significant differences compared to the value before each exercise (* p < 0.05; ** p< 0.01; *** p < 0.001); F - F-test and the significance of time and exercise main effects; all the data are given as means with their standard deviations. |
