Effects of Acute Sleep Deprivation on the Sequential Rate of Torque Development throughout the Force-Time Curve
Abstract
Objective The impact of sleep deprivation on the physiological determinants of explosive torque production remains poorly understood. We aimed at determining the acute effects of 24 hours of sleep deprivation on the sequential rate of torque development (RTD) obtained during plantar flexion through maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC).
