Prolonged low-frequency force depression (PLFFD) after damaging eccentric exercise may last for several days. IIistorically. PLFFD has been calculated from the tetanic force responses to trains of supramaximal stimuli. More recently, for methodological reasons, stimulation has been reduced to two pulses. However, it is unknown whether doublet responses provide a valid measure of PLFFD in the days after eccentric exercise. In 12 participants, doublets and tetani were elicited at 10 and 100 Hz before and after (2, 3, 5 min, 48 and 96 h) 200 eccentric maximal voluntary contractions of the dorsiflexors. Doublet and tetanic torque responses at 10 Hz were similarly depressed throughout recovery (P > 0.05; e.g., 2 min: 58.9 +/- 12.8% vs. 57.1 +/- 14.5% baseline: 96 h: 85.6 +/- 11.04% vs. 85.1 +/- 10.8% baseline). At 100 Hz, doublet torque was impaired more than tetanic torque at all time points (P < 0.05; e.g., 2 min: 705 +/- 14.2% vs. 88.1 +/- 11.7% baseline; 96 h: 83.0 +/- 14.2% vs. 98.7 +/- 9.5% baseline). As a result, the postfatigue reduction of the 10 Hz-to-1(X) Hz ratio (PLFFD) was markedly greater for tetani than for doublets (P < 0.05: e.g., 2 min: 64.3 +/- 15.1% vs. 83.0 +/- 5.8% baseline). In addition, the doublet ratio recovered by 48 h (99.2 +/- 5.0% baseline), whereas the tetanic ratio was still impaired at 96 h (88.2 +/- 9.7% baseline). Our results indicate that doublets are not a valid measure of PLFFD in the minutes and days after eccentric exercise. If study design favors the use of paired stimuli, it should be acknowledged that the true magnitude and duration of PLFFD are likely underestimated. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Prolonged low-frequency force depression (PLFFD) will result from damaging exercise and may last for several days. After 200 eccentric maximal dorsiflexor contractions, we compared the gold-standard measure of PLFFD (calculated using trains of supramaximal stimulation) to the value obtained from an alternative technique that is becoming increasingly common (paired supramaximal stimuli). Doublets underestimated the magnitude and duration of PLFFD compared with tetani, so caution must be used when reporting PLFFD derived from paired stimuli.
