The present study was performed to investigate whether modes of voluntary contraction have an influence on an appearance of the premovement silent period (PSP) and components of the premovement cortical potentials. The EMG and the EEG were simultaneously recorded in an isometric ballistic contraction for exerting rapidly an elbow extension force and in a ballistic contraction for fast extending an elbow joint. The prime mover in the 2 contraction modes was the triceps brachii muscle. The frequency of the PSP was significantly higher in the isometric ballistic contraction than in the ballistic contraction (P < 0.01). The duration of the PSP was significantly longer in the isometric ballistic contraction than in the ballistic contraction (P < 0.01). In the isometric ballistic contraction, the 3 premovement cortical potentials (FNP, SNP and TNP) were identified. However, in the ballistic contraction the TNP did not appear. The PSP occurred in the phase of the TNP. The results obtained suggest that the PSP and the TNP are related to a more forceful contraction with faster rates of contraction, rather than only to speed of muscular contraction.
