This is our reply to the Letter to the Editor of Taube et al. (2025) concerning our PaperThe stretch–shortening cycle effect is not associated with cortical or spinal excitability modulations (Rissmann et al., 2025).
"We thank Taube etal. (2025) for their interest in our article and for their critical insights into our findings (Rissmann etal., 2025). Our main finding was that the stretch–shortening cycle (SSC) effect was not associated with cortical or spinal excitability modulations, and the main criticism of Taube etal. (2025) was that this main finding should not be generalised to all SSCs. This criticism appears misplaced as we never generalised our main finding to other SSCs and actually explicitly stated as part of our limitations that the ‘results are specific to our set-up’ and also ‘specific to the controlled dynamometer conditions used’ (Rissmann etal., 2025).
