  1. Data are shown as means ± SDs. *Significant difference (p < 0.05) from Pre value. #Significant difference (p < 0.05) between two velocity conditions. Pre: Before the conditioning contraction; Post: Immediately after the conditioning contraction; MG: Medial gastrocnemius; LG: Lateral gastrocnemius; SOL: Soleus.
