Avian muscle energetics data do not inform clinical practice; leaves open translation of V(max)-driven differences to mammalian models.
The study demonstrates that differences in the energetics of isometric contractions between phasic and tonic chicken muscles can be explained by inherent differences in tension development, compliance, and ATPase activities.
Rall et al. (1973) studied this question.
