Muscle tension response to sinusoidal length perturbation: a theoretical study.

A S Cheung, B F Gray

    Journal of Muscle Research and Cell Motility
    |December 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study models muscle contraction dynamics, finding that oscillating muscle length reduces tension compared to steady states. Increased oscillation amplitude or frequency amplifies this tension reduction, aligning with experimental data.
