Magnitude of fascicle shortening in the CON, ISO, and ECC conditions at the following intervals: (a) from 85 to 105 degrees (full range), (b) from 85 to 95 degrees (the first half), and (c) from 95 to 105 degrees (the latter half).

<p># represents the significant difference among the CON, ISO, and ECC conditions (<i>P</i> < 0.05). * represents significant difference between the CON and ECC conditions (<i>P</i> < 0.05). Values are presented as mean ± standard deviation. CON: concentric contraction without preactivation. ISO: concentric contraction with prior isometric contraction. ECC concentric contraction with prior eccentric contraction.
