The Contribution of the Elastic Reaction is Severely Underestimated in Studies on Myofibril Contraction
We have considered the Huxley-Simmons manoeuvre. On the assumption that the quick release is an elastic process and on the basis of the isometric tension and of the stiffness of the muscle fibre we calculated that the spontaneous release of the fibre requires ~43 μs, which is much faster than the ob...
