Muscle strength measures the amount of force a muscle can exert during contraction. The determining factor of strength is the fast twitching fibers.

What is isokinetic peak-torque?

Isokinetic peak torque refers to the maximum amount of force that a muscle can generate at a constant speed during an isokinetic muscle contraction. It is commonly measured during strength testing to assess muscle function and performance.


What is the difference between a strong muscle contraction and a weak muscle contraction?

What happens to a muscle contraction if there is an excess amount of either Ca2 plus or ATP present during the contraction?

During muscle contraction the actin heads pull the sarcomere closed


Which main factor allows muscle to sustain contraction even during time when the blood supply is low?

Where is calcium stored in a relaxed skeletal muscle?

yes calcium is stored in muscles as it is necessary for muscle contraction and muscle contraction is very sensitive to the amount of calcium


Is ATP the most abundant energy source for muscle contraction?

Yes, ATP is the primary energy source for muscle contraction. During intense exercise, ATP stored within the muscle cells is rapidly depleted and must be regenerated through metabolic pathways to sustain muscle contractions.


What Is the amount of force a muscle can exert.?

The amount of force a muscle can exert is influenced by its size, fiber type composition, and level of conditioning. This force is typically measured in units such as pounds or newtons, and can be influenced by factors such as leverage and joint angles during contraction. The maximum force a muscle can generate is known as its maximal force-generating capacity.
