The amount of workload and the inter-set time for each local muscle group were matched (180 s), however, the time between successive exercises differed. The twitch interpolation technique was used to test neuromuscular function of the knee extensor muscles. Blood lactate concentration was used to evaluate metabolic responses.Results: Maximum voluntary contraction and resting potentiated twitch amplitude (Qtw) were significantly reduced after HIRC, but there were not changes after TST, while reductions in voluntary activation were similar. Lactate concentration increased significantly more after HIRC.Conclusions: The higher lactate concentration after HIRC probably impaired excitation-contraction coupling, indicating larger peripheral fatigue than after TST application/pdf https://folia.unifr.ch/global/documents/305936 https://folia.unifr.ch/documents/305936/files/tau_pcf.pdf eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1002/mus.25460 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess License undefined Muscle & Nerve. - 2017, vol. 56, no. 1, p. 152–159 fatigue metabolic response perception of effort resistance training neuromuscular function twitch interpolation technique info:eu-repo/classification/udc/796 Peripheral and central fatigue after high intensity resistance circuit training http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
