From: Strain in shock-loaded skeletal muscle and the time scale of muscular wobbling mass dynamics

Muscle force peak (force difference ΔF) during shock-wave-induced (‘dynamic’) fibre material strain after TD versus isometric force F at TD (N = 9). The force difference ΔF was calculated as the corresponding vertical acceleration a COM of the MTC’s COM (right ordinate) plus gravitational acceleration multiplied by muscle mass \( {\mathcal M} \) (see Appendix ‘Calculating dynamic muscle force change and the elements’ stiffnesses’). The COM position was calculated as the arithmetic mean of all steel marker positions.
