Table 1 Peak blood flow and the time taken to re ach the peak blood flow after a single contraction

	15%MVC	30%MVC	50%MVC
Peak BF (ml/min Mean ± S	149 ± 15	416 ± 41	488 ± 55
The time taken to reach the peak BF (s)	3.8 ± 0.3	4.7 ± 0.2	3.9 ± 0.2
The coefficients of variation (%)	23	12	14

Data are obtained from after single contraction. Peak value of blood flow at 30% and 50% MVC were significantly higher than that at 15% MVC. Peak BF: Peak value of blood flow.
