## EIGHT FIGURES I n isometrically recorded contractions of skeletal muscle, the initial, total, and developed tensions vary as the length of the muscle is changed. The initial tension, produced as the muscle at rest is stretched, does not follow Hooke's law of elastic bodies. The relation of the
Muscle length influences the contractile properties of muscle in that when muscle is lengthened the relaxation phase of the muscle twitch is prolonged and when muscle is shortened, the relaxation phase is shorter in duration. As a result, the force exerted by active motor units varies with muscle le
