Implication

Does not warrant clinical changes; supports sliding filament hypothesis and extends mechanistic insights in muscle research.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Small fibre bundles from the semitendinosus muscles of the frog
I
Intervention
Stretch during tetanic stimulation at velocities ranging from 0.1 to 150 cm/sec
O
Outcome
Tension changes during and after stretchsurrogate

High-velocity stretching of frog muscle fibers during tetanic stimulation causes complex tension changes, including a 'slip' of the contractile component, supporting the sliding filament hypothesis.
