Supports near-maximal activation in frog locomotion; extends basic muscle models but leaves open mammalian cardiac translation.
The frog muscular system is designed to meet conditions for maximal power generation during jumping through optimal myofilament overlap, optimal shortening velocity, and maximal activation.
