The mechanical force of muscle contraction is generated by a sliding of thin filaments past thick ones.
Increasing the stimulus to an isolated muscle increases the strength of a contraction. A muscle begins to contract when the stimulus is given; however, if the muscle does not finish contracting before the next stimulus hits, then the force of the contraction will increase to finish the contraction. This is known as wave summation.
the degree of muscle stretch is affect the strength or force of skeletal muscle contraction
the amount of ATP in the muscle cells
Eccentric contraction (isotonic)
Muscular Strength is defined as "The maximum force that can be generated by a muscle or group of muscles in one singular contraction. Muscular strength is affected by the following factors. -Cross sectional area of the muscle -Angle of pull -Length -Age -Gender -Number of fibres (motor units) recruited -Speed of contraction, depends on (Slow or fast twitch muscle fibres) -Shape of muscle -Type of contraction
The most common form of muscle force production is the concentric contraction force.
Muscle force is the force produced by the contraction of a muscle. Force vectors, torque vectors, and difference vectors can all be used to help describe this force.
No active force can be generated.
A muscle contraction happens when too much force or stress is forced upon a muscle cavity. Dr. Whitmore PHD
If the muscle can not shorten because the muscle is trying to move a load that is greater than the force, then the contraction is isometric.
True.
