No clinical implications from frog skeletal muscle data; leaves open translation to cardiac cross-bridge mechanics.
In frog skeletal muscle, enhancement of isometric force following slow stretch is associated with decreased stiffness, providing insights into cross-bridge mechanics.
Sugi et al. (1988) studied this question.
