Given the phenomenological relations for muscle's steady-state contraction and proper de"nitions of power p and e$ciency , the behavior of these quantities is analysed in terms of the parameters that determine the energetics of the muscle, here denoted by sM and . sM is proportional to the so-called
## T W O FIGURES I n discussing muscular contraction I would like to confine my remarks to the problem of characterizing the contractile process in terms of appropriate physical variables. The problem is important for two reasons. First, a physical characterization of the contractile process at th
It is certain that single skeletal muscle fibers, either isolated or in situ, may exhibit twitch-like contractions localizecl in the region of the stimulating electrodes (Asmussen, '32;
