The surface electromyographic (EMG) activity of the biceps brachii during weak elbow flexion reportedly increases immediately after strong elbow flexion, even during the exertion of a given force. This phenomenon is called post-contraction potentiation (EMG–PCP). However, the effects of test contraction intensity (TCI) on EMG–PCP remain unclear. This study evaluated PCP levels at various TCI values. Sixteen healthy participants were asked to perform a force matching task (2%, 10%, or 20% of the maximum voluntary contraction [MVC]) before (Test 1) and after (Test 2) a conditioning contraction (50% of MVC). With a 2% TCI, the EMG amplitude was higher in Test 2 than in Test 1. With a 20% TCI, the EMG amplitude was lower in Test 2 than in Test 1. Furthermore, EMG spectral analyses showed that the α- and β-band power ratios in Test 2 were enhanced by 2% TCI compared with Test 1. These findings suggest that TCI is crucial in determining the EMG–force relationship immediately after a brief intensive contraction.
