Abstract

This review deals with the contractility of striated muscles as made evident in the force and the shortening velocities in various contractions. The contractility, that is, the capability of contraction, can be expressed using two parameters. One is the maximum tension during isometric contraction and the other, the maximum shortening velocity during isotonic contraction under zero load. © 1984, PHYSIOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF JAPAN.
