Contraction with shortening during stimulation or during relaxation: how do the energetic costs compare?

abstract：:temporaria (0.9-2.5degrees C) were stimulated to produce a 1 s isometric tetanus at regular intervals until constant mechanical responses were attained. Various degrees of force depression ("fatigue") were produced by decreasing the contraction interval from 30 or 15 min (control to 120, 60, 30 and 15s, respectively. ...
