This is a corrigendum to the published paper entitled“Spinal and supraspinal control of motor function during maximal eccentric muscle contraction:Effects of resistance training”.1

On pages 288-9,the paragraph“It has been suggested that a number of these pathways and spinal circuitry inputs affect the expression of ECC muscle strength in vivo16,17(cf.the Fig.5 in Ref.17).All of these pathways may exhibit adaptive plasticity with training.27,99Thus, evoked V-wave and H-reflex responses recorded during maximal ECC plantar flexor contraction were found to increase(～60%and ～40%),respectively)after a period of HLRT conducted in form of maximal ECC resistance training50(Fig.8),suggesting that modulations in supraspinal and/or spinal neuronal pathways can indeed be achieved with resistance training to produce substantial gains in maximal ECC muscle strength.”

Should be extended with the following sentence:

“Similar observations recently were reported by Tallent and coworkers,where 4 weeks of ECC training for the ankle dorsiflexors led to 57%increased V-wave amplitudes in the Tibia Anterior(TA)muscle during maximal ECC muscle actions,which was accompanied by a 19%gain in maximal ECC dorsiflexor MVC.”2
