Research Abstract

1. Expriments were conducted to evaluate the change in soleous alpha-motoneuronexcitability following the ballistic contractions of ipsilateral, contralateral triceps surae and elbow flexors.
2. Immediately after the repeated ballistic contractions, H-reflexe was remarkably depressed accompanied by restoring phase, and then was increased more than the test reflex before muscle contraction. The faciltation sustained throughout 30 to 40 min.
3. Although effects of cutaneous and thermal stimualation on the H-reflex were investigated to explore some neurophysiological mechanism of the above results, it was found out that these findings did not have any influence on the reflex excitability.
4. The findings in this study suggest that central descending inputs are most likely to cause the change of reflex excitability which was evoked by long-lasting muscle activity.
5. Considering training routine from the results of reflex excitability, it might be adequate that athletes should take the interval of more than 5 min.before practicing from warming up to streneous activity.
