Implication

Supports cross-bridge model in rodent skeletal muscle; leaves open translation to human cardiac sarcomere function.

Population

70-80 microns long segments of single fibres isolated from the tibialis anterior and semitendinosus muscles of the frog

Intervention

Fixed-end or length-clamp contractions

Outcome

Relation between sarcomere length and tetanic tensionsurrogate

The study confirms that muscle tension is produced by simultaneous action of independent force generators, proportional to the number of myosin bridges overlapped by actin filaments.
