Residual force enhancement (RFE) is about how an active eccentric muscle action influences the following isometric contraction. RFE has been investigated over a broad range of different conditions, but especially when it comes to its relevance regarding daily human movement, e.g. multi-joint movements, there is still a lack of scientific knowledge. Another missing link is, the effect of RFE on the neuromuscular efficiency of a muscle resulting in a higher muscle economisation. These two topics are in the focus of this thesis.
