Table 7. Steady-state force after SSC (animal studies). First author, year Steady-state force after movement (SSC condition/pure shortening condition; SSC condition/isometric reference condition) Contraction modalities (Conclusion of the article) Bullimore, 2008 7.6% ± 2.3% higher compared to pure shortening 1.4 ± 1.2% higher compared to isometric reference contraction Dependent on shortening distance Ettema, 1992 2% -16% higher compared to pure shortening contraction Dependent on shortening velocity Fukutani, 2018 3.5% - 7.1% higher compared to isometric reference contraction Dependent on shortening distance Herzog, 2000 No increase compared to pure shortening Only depressed state compared to isometric reference contraction Lee, 2001 4-5% lower compared to isometric reference contraction Independent of stretch speed Sugi, 1988 Lower compared to isometric reference contraction Dependent on shortening velocity
