ABSTRACT:
The review focuses on the mechanical properties of muscle in human movement, identified by two conceptual, rather than anatomic components. 1. CC (contractile component) is seen to produce a force dependant upon the four variables of activation, velocity of muscle shortening, length and the history of the state of contraction. 2. SEC (series elastic omponent) behaves like a nonlinear spring-like element. Properties of human muscular contraction are described through the use of various models. Models are discussed because they provide a good visual summary, are valuable tools for experimental design and teaching, and can be tailored to accentuate the specific properties of static and dynamic contraction in humans.
