The boost of force in unfused tetanic contractions at variable interpulse intervals in fast motor units of the rat medial gastrocnemius by K. Kryściak, J. Celichowski, R. Raikova, H. Drzymała-Celichowska

“…Mathematical decomposition of first (sagging) and second (non-sagging) tetanic contractions into twitch-like responses to successive stimuli in the tested IPIs variability showed that the changes underlying boost are pattern independent. This implies that boost probably occurs in daily activity when motoneurons fire with an unstable firing rate. …”
