 | | Interpretation of the steady state contraction measurements from muscle is difficult because of the asynchrony of the cycling crossbridges during active muscle contraction and rapid perturbation methods have been used to induce crossbridge synchronisation. |
 | | The comparison indicates that flexor hallucis brevis (FHB, a foot muscle) is a fast muscle, although it is not known whether it contains a predominance of type 2B fibres, as is the case in EDL muscle (see Ranatunga and Thomas, 1990). |
 | | Compared to other muscle preparations used in previous studies, the FHB is a peripheral muscle in the mammalian body and it might be exposed to a wide temperature range during normal life (as suggested by Lannergren and Westerblad, 1987). |
