Muscle-specific economy of force generation and efficiency of work production during human running

2021-02-19

Abstract excerpt

Human running features a spring-like interaction of body and ground, enabled by elastic tendons that store mechanical energy and facilitate muscle operating conditions to minimize the metabolic cost. By experimentally assessing the operating conditions of two important muscles for running, the soleus and vastus lateralis, we investigated physiological mechanisms of muscle energy production and muscle force generat...
