Strain , Muscle Length and Work Output in a Crab Muscle
The relationships between muscle length, fractional change in length (strain) and work output during cyclic contraction were examined in scaphognathite levator muscle L2B of the green crab Carcinus maenas (L.). The muscle was subjected to sinusoidal strain at 2 Hz and to phasic stimulation in the strain cycle. At an average length and stimulus phase which are optimum for net work output, the wo...
متن کاملThe Mechanical Power Output of a Crab Respiratory Muscle
The mechanical power output was measured from scaphognathite (SG = gill bailer) muscle L2B of the crab Carcinus maenas (L.). The work was determined from the area of the loop formed by plotting muscle length against force when the muscle was subjected to sinusoidal length change (strain) and phasic stimulation in the length cycle. The stimulation pattern (10 stimuli per burst, burst length = 20...
متن کاملA computational model for the adaptation of muscle and tendon length to average muscle length and minimum tendon strain.
This paper hypothesizes that average muscle length and minimum tendon strain govern muscle and tendon length adaptation in all situations. A model has been implemented to test this hypothesis, and simulations have been performed for normal development, bone lengthening, immobilization, and retinacular release experiments in young and adult animals. The simulation results predict that both muscl...
متن کاملInfluence of cycle frequency, muscle strain and muscle length on work and power production of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) ventricular muscle
This study investigates the effects of cycle frequency, strain and length on work and power output of isolated rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) ventricular preparations using the work loop technique. These effects are discussed in the context of the whole heart using analogies with heart rate, stroke volume and end-diastolic volume. Power output was dependent on cycle frequency, increasing t...
متن کاملEffect of altering starting length and activation timing of muscle on fiber strain and muscle damage.
Muscle strain injuries are some of the most frequent injuries in sports and command a great deal of attention in an effort to understand their etiology. These injuries may be the culmination of a series of subcellular events accumulated through repetitive lengthening (eccentric) contractions during exercise, and they may be influenced by a variety of variables including fiber strain magnitude, ...
