Changes from baseline in potentiated peak twitch of knee extensors (KE) and plantar flexors (PF) and M-wave characteristics of Vastus Lateralis (VL) and Soleus (SOL) muscles.

Data are expressed as Δ changes from PRE values (n = 11). Data are mean values ± SD. 95% Confidence Intervals are given in square brackets.POST/D+2/D+5/D+9/D+16 are the measurements performed immediately after and 2, 5, 9 and 16 days after the race.$: P$$: P$$$: Psignificance of t-test between PRE and POST (n = 22);*: P**: P***: Psignificance level of pairwise comparisons between PRE and every other measurements (parametric tests).+++: Psignificance level of pairwise comparisons between PRE and every other measurement (nonparametric tests, PFile S1.
