The time to volitional exhaustion (endurance time) for sustained contractions is considered as a valid parameter to quantify fatigue and to determine the required rest pauses between two successive contractions.
Three successive contractions were performed at 20, 40, 60, and 80% TMVC in this order for all the subjects.
Phylogeny across diverse eukaryotes has revealed a complex patchwork of conservation that suggests a history of successive contractions and expansions in the AGC kinases [ 62].
The R-peak in the ECG has been widely used to measure time between successive contractions of the heart, and in this way, heart rate and interbeat intervals (IBIs) can be determined.
After an equilibration period (at least 20 minutes) under optimal passive tension, two successive contractions in response to the combination of KCl depolarisation (100 mM) and phenylephrine (PE) (10 µM) (Sigma-Aldrich) were used in order to test the maximal contractile capacity of the vessels.
However, GDP fell by 0.5% (at an annual rate) compared with the previous quarter, the third successive quarterly contraction.
The process of successive rainforest contractions and expansions was a very important consequence of these environmental modifications possibly favoring the differentiation and speciation of forest obligate species [ 56- 58].
Thus, a plausible explanation for the reduction of BP after RT is that blood flow increases and shear stress act on vascular endothelial cells by activating a cascade of events leading to production of nitric oxide (an important vasodilator) arising from successive muscle contractions.
It only takes two successive quarters of contraction to constitute a technical recession.
He expects the economy to escape a technical recession – two successive quarters of contraction – but to expand by just 0.4% this year.
