Title: How does active force change when shortening a muscle from its optimum length?
Post by: dtn45 on Nov 9, 2014
A.How does active force change when shortening a muscle from its optimum length?  What about when lengthening past optimum length? Why does this happen?  B.  What is passive force?  How does passive force change with shortening and lengthening a muscle away from optimum length? Why does this occur? C.  Define total force, and explain how it is determined.  How would total force change when shortening and lengthening a muscle?
