Average (±SE) right and left soleus burst amplitudes and durations and step-cycle duration and right/left symmetry after conditioning for successful HRdown and HRup rats (expressed in terms of their control values) and the correlations between changes in them and the change in stance H-reflex (with the H-reflex change expressed in terms of the control value of soleus burst amplitude). NS, No significant correlation (p > 0.05).
