Cooling effects on rat muscle require human validation; leaves open Arrhenius applicability to cardiac contractility.
Cooling decreases the maximum velocity of shortening and rate of tension development in rat skeletal muscle, consistent with Arrhenius kinetics.
K. W. Ranatunga (1982) studied this question.
