Extends amphibian skeletal muscle mechanics data; leaves open cross-bridge compliance in mammalian cardiac models.
The study demonstrates that the compliance of active toad skeletal muscle varies with developed force and suggests the variable compliance site is likely within the A-band, possibly the cross-bridges.
Bressler et al. (1974) studied this question.
