Effects of Eccentric Pedaling at Different Rates on Neuromuscular Function

"Before and after training.~Muscle function:~* voluntary maximal isometric force of the knee extensors~* evoked force in the knee extensors by double percutaneous electrical stimulation at 100 and 10 Hz~* level of voluntary activation~* voluntary maximum force in concentric and eccentric mode at an angular speed of 60°.s-1~* squat jump and counter-movement jump"

"Before and after training.~Cardiovascular-respiratory function:~* Oxygen consumption during the incremental concentric pedaling test conducted to high effort perception.~* heart rate during pedaling tasks~Muscle architecture:~\- Pennation angle and thickness of vastus lateralis, rectus femoris, gastrocnemius medialis and lateralis muscles, before and after training.~Familiarization with eccentric pedaling"
