[A comparison of the contractile properties of the muscles of the lower extremities in man].
The physiological features of two antagonistic muscle groups, the dorsiflexors and plantar flexors of the ankle, have been compared in 11 healthy subjects aged 15-17 years (+/- SE; 16 +/- 1.2 years). Contractile properties of plantar flexors of the foot, namely of tibialis anterior (TA) and extensors triceps surae (TS) have been estimated by mechanical parameters of voluntary and electrically evoked contractions. All test subjects exhibited tolerance to supramaximal force of electric stimulation of n. tibialis and n. peroneus profundus at a frequency of 150 impulses.s-1 (for TS) and 150 impulses.s-1 and 250 impulses.s-1 (for TA). TA displayed high velocity and force-velocity properties (p < 0.05-0.001); TS had high force parameters (p < 0.05-0.01). The magnitude of force deficiency observed during voluntary contraction of these muscles is lower in TA and higher in TS (p < 0.05). The results permit supposing that differences in contractile properties of the muscles under study depend on a various specific contribution of peripheral and CNS factors.
