Biomechanics of Skeletal Muscle(Hamill ch 4, Cram Ch 2,
pp 43-64) Properties of muscle-tendon function
- Extensibility and elasticity• Elastic and contractile components
- Irritability and the ability to develop tension Structural Org of Skeletal Muscle Motor Unit
Biomechanics of Skeletal Muscle The motor unit and Electromyography (Figure from
lab)- motoneuron & all innervated fibers- Fiber types I (SO), IIA (FOG), IIB (FG)
Muscle Fiber Type Selective recruitment of fiber types – size
principle:• SO FOG FG
Recruitment proceeds from smallest fibers to largest (the size principle)
