To assess the length-dependence of posttetanic response, twitch contractions at 10 s intervals were obtained at a variety of sarcomere lengths both prior to (P t ) and following (P t *) a tetanic contraction which was elicited at optimal length (the length which gave the strongest tetanic contraction).
A third type of mechanoreceptor, the Golgi tendon organ (GTO), was also responsive to muscle movement (contraction).
Under muscular contraction, mechanical vibrations occur, due to three main processes: (i) the inner muscular vibrations, which are the intrinsic components of the muscle contraction [ 9 ] , (ii) oscillations of the human motor system, e.g. tremor and clonus [ 10 ] , and (iii) artefacts.
1) Activation mechanisms involve contractile pathways that increase ser 19-myosin regulatory light chain (MRLC) phosphorylation, either by increases in myoplasmic calcium ([Ca 2+] i [ 1 ] ) or by decreases in myosin light chain phosphatase activity [ 2 ] . The increased ser 19-MRLC phosphorylation activates the myosin's ATPase producing crossbridge cycling and contraction.
These structures determine cell shape and also produce the driving force accompanying many types of cellular movements including muscle contraction and cell division.
