Table 1 Force produced by half-sarcomeres and single sarcomeres during isometric contractions and contractions in which a stretch was imposed during full activation. The adjusted means are the results of adjusting the force values for the amount of stretch using the ANCOVA analysis
From: Force produced after stretch in sarcomeres and half-sarcomeres isolated from skeletal muscles
Force (nN·μm−2) produced during isometric contraction | Force (nN·μm−2) produced after stretch | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Mean (±SD) | Adjusted mean (±SE) | Mean (±SD) | Adjusted mean (±SE) | |
Half-sarcomere (n = 10) | 24.7 ± 9.5 | 24.6 ± 3.6 | 37.7 ± 7.3 | 37.6 ± 2.1 |
Single sarcomere (n = 14) | 30.8 ± 11.9 | 30.9 ± 3.0 | 37.4 ± 5.5 | 37.5 ± 1.8 |
