(A) Timeline of the experimental protocol showing the three (randomized) interventions. (B) Experimental setup with the subject in the neutral position. (C) A representative recording showing MEP, Hmax and Mmax electrical responses in soleus during a submaximal (30% MVIC) isometric contraction. S: Stimulation imposed.

Mean (black dotted lines) and individual (grey lines) values for MEP/Mmax recorded immediately before (PRE) and 10 s after (POST) the three conditioning activities in (A) soleus (SOL), (B) gastrocnemius medialis (GM) and (C) gastrocnemius lateralis (GL).
*Significant difference from pre-intervention tests (P<0.05).
