Submaximal (τtw,sub) and maximal(τtw,p) peak twitch torque recorded before (PRE) and after (POST) STIM and STIM+Vib. Submaximal (τtw,sub: 40 mA) and maximal (τtw,p) electrical stimulation peak twitch torques recorded before (PRE) and after (POST) STIM and STIM + Vib. Submaximal twitch torque (τtw,sub; top panel) declined 40.4 ± 4.7% and maximal force (τtw,p; bottom panel) declined 27.0 ± 5.0% of baseline in STIM, whilst τtw,sub declined 45.0 ± 4.2% and τtw,p declined 30.6 ± 5.0% of baseline in STIM+Vib. However, no statistically significant differences were found between the two conditions
