Example sentences for: length-tension

How can you use “length-tension” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • For this reason, the length-tension relation is more clearly defined in these experiments than in the staircase experiments, for which twitch contractions were obtained at a given length prior to and after repetitive stimulation at that sarcomere length.

  • A length-tension curve was generated from the mean of five twitches at each muscle length between 70% and 120% of the previously determined L o . Fatiguing characteristics were then determined by repeated stimulation at 100 Hz for 200 ms bursts, and 90 trains/min.

  • Two features of the length-tension relation should be noted.

  • Among these are diaphragm fiber shortening with a corresponding shift in the length-tension curve [ 1 2 3 4 5 ] and variable changes in the contractile properties of diaphragm strips in vitro [ 2 3 5 6 ] . Increased fatigue resistance of the muscle is the single alteration in contractile properties that has been most consistently [ 2 3 6 ] , though not always [ 7 ] , identified.

  • The second point is that the shape of the length-tension relation relative to sarcomere length has shifted, such that optimal length (peak of the length-tension relation) for potentiated contractions is less than optimal length for nonpotentiated contractions.
