Seventeen male and female subjects (ages 20–38 yr) were tested pre- and posttraining for maximal knee extension torque at seven specific velocities (0, 0.84, 1.68, 2.51, 3.35, 4.19, and 5.03 rad . s-1) with an isokinetic dynamometer. Maximal knee extension torques were recorded at a specific joint angle (0.52 rad below the horizontal plane) for all test speeds. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of three experimental groups: group A, control, n = 7; group B, training at 1.68 rad . s-1, n = 5; or group C, training at 4.19 rad . s-1, n = 5. Subjects trained the knee extensors by performing two sets of 10 single maximal voluntary efforts three times a week for 4 wk. Before training, each training group exhibited a leveling-off of muscular tension in the slow velocity-high force region of the in vivo force-velocity relationship. Training at 1.68 rad . s-1 resulted in significant (P less than 0.05) improvements at all velocities except for 5.03 rad . s-1 and markedly affected the leveling-off in the slow velocity-high force region. Training at 4.19 rad . s-1 did not affect the leveling-off phenomenon but brought about significant improvements (P less than 0.05) at velocities of 2.51, 3.35, and 4.19 rad . s-1. The changes seen in the leveling-off phenomenon suggest that training at 1.68 rad . s-1 might have brought about an enhancement of motoneuron activation.

We examined the force-velocity relationship of the respiratory muscles in normal subjects under nearly isotonic conditions, taking into consideration the pleural pressure (Ppl) changes during maximum forced expirations (MFE). We used an electromagnetic valve (EMV) to select the Ppl value at the onset of mouth flow; and both a pressure reservoir and a variable resistance to control the Ppl changes after the opening of the EMV during MFE. To simulate isotonic conditions and to obtain the shortening velocity of the contractile element (CE), we mathematically corrected the velocity of the series elastic component (SEC), using a modified version of Hill's equation. Although the maximum tension at total lung capacity (TLC) [1,156 +/- 215 (SD) g/cm] was larger than that at functional residual capacity (FRC) (782 +/- 97 g/cm) there was no significant difference in the maximum shortening velocity, 3.4 +/- 1.0 and 3.2 +/- 0.8 circumference/s at TLC and FRC, respectively. The mean values of k (slope) for the SEC at TLC and FRC were 19 +/- 4 and 18 +/- 5 circumference-1, respectively, and they were not significantly different. We concluded that the force-velocity relationship of the expiratory muscles exhibited the same mechanical properties as that of the other skeletal muscles.
