Muscle contraction has been the focus of scientific investigation for more than two centuries, and major discoveries have changed the field over the years. Early in the twentieth century, Fenn (1924, 1923) showed that the total energy liberated during a contraction (heat + work) was increased when the muscle was allowed to shorten and perform work. The result implied that chemical reactions during contractions were load-dependent. The observation underlying the “Fenn effect” was taken to a greater extent when Hill (1938) published a pivotal study showing in details the relation between heat production and the amount of muscle shortening, providing ...

Reviews for Muscle Biophysics: From Molecules to Cells (Volume 682)
From the reviews: “This text is ideally suited for muscle neurophysiologists interested in doing lab research aimed to study the strength of contraction of the actinmyosin units of skeletal and cardiac myofilaments. … This text is ideal for neurophysiologists and mycologists who have any interest in recordings. I also recommend it for those who work with muscle spindles … ... Read more
