We measured fatigability by examining declines in force capacity (i.e., MVC) and TTF. We examined participants' force capacity throughout the experimental sessions by looking at their raw and normalized MVC. We quantified changes in participants' force capacity by normalizing their MVC to the baseline MVC trial performed during each experimental session (MVC1; TTF represents the time it took for the force exerted by the participant to decay <40% MVC for 3 consecutive seconds. The average TTF (across the 5 TTF trials) for Experiment 1 was 42.9 ± 17.0 s, while for Experiment 2 it was 44.3 ± 10.0 s.
