: The purpose of this study was to examine and compare the effects of 3 days of dynamic constant external resistance ( DCER ) and isokinetic ( ISOK ) training and subsequent detraining on the electromechanical delay ( EMD ). Methods : Thirty‐one men [age 22.2±4.2 years, body mass 77.9±12.9 kg, height 173.9±5.4 cm (mean± SD )] were randomly assigned to a DCER training group, ISOK training group, or control ( CONT ) group. Results : No significant changes were found for EMD from pre‐ to posttraining assessments 1, 2, and 3 [4.5±0.2 ms, 4.7±0.2 ms, 4.5±0.1 ms, 4.5±0.2 ms, respectively (mean± SE )] ( P >0.05). Conclusions : It can be hypothesized that increases in strength observed after a short‐term resistance training program may not be attributed to stiffness changes in the series‐elastic component.
