... fibres, 44% type IIB and 47% hybrid muscle fibres. The proportions of fast muscle fibres in marmoset VL and GM were substantially larger than those reported in the corresponding human muscles. The curvature of the force–velocity relationships of marmoset type IIB and hybrid fibres was substantially...

... mammalian muscle force-velocity relationship length-tension relationship Our present knowledge of muscle mechanics is in large part gained from studies of isolated frog muscle, as amphibian muscles show extraordinary stability over long experiments and are suitable for isolation of intact single...

... fibres isolated from dogfish Scyliorhinus canicula were used to characterize the force–velocity relationship of the contractile component (CC) and the stress–strain relationship of the passive, elastic component (SEC) in series with the CC. A simple model of the time course of crossbridge activation...

Peak force in a brief isometric tetanus (0.2 s, 100–150 Hz) was 262±16 mN mm −2 cross-sectional area of wet tissue ( N =6) for squid, and 226±19 mN mm −2 ( N =7) for cuttlefish. The force–velocity relationship for isotonic shortening during twitches...

The force–velocity relationships of the striated adductor muscle were fitted to the hyperbolic-linear (HYP-LIN) equation. The force–velocity curves of the striated adductor muscle of the scallop were...
