From: Skeletal muscle contraction. The thorough definition of the contractile event requires both load acceleration and load mass to be known

Figure 3

The length of the power strokes. The length of the power stroke was calculated by summing up the distances, l V , spanned in tAT/tl ~ 137 consecutive cycles of the program. Upper part of the figure: P/P0 = 0.421; aL = 0.5 m.s-2; F1 = 228.43 pN; k = 2.26 10-4 s. Lower part of the figure: P/P0 = 0.421; aL = 9.8 m.s-2; F1 = 2030.66 pN; k = 2.467 10-5s.
