We demonstrate that postactivation potentiation in human skeletal muscle is accompanied by central inhibition at the corticospinal level. However, the magnitude of central inhibition does not differ between peripherally evoked or voluntary conditioning contractions. Therefore, it is possible this central inhibition is related to muscle sensory feedback.
