Enthalpy efficiency of the soleus muscle explains improvements in running economy

2020-07-10

Abstract excerpt

During human running, the soleus, as the main plantar flexor muscle, generates the majority of the mechanical work through active shortening. The fraction of chemical energy that is converted into muscular work (i.e. the enthalpy efficiency) depends on the muscle shortening velocity. Here, we investigated the soleus muscle fascicle behavior during running with respect to the enthalpy efficiency as a mechanism that...
