The equatorial X-ray diffraction pattern in vertebrate skeletall muscle arises from the double hexagonal array of the thick and thin filaments. When a muscle contracts isometrically, the intensity of 1,0 equatorial reflection (I1,o) decreases while that of 1,1 reflection (I1,1) increases, each by a factor of two.1~-4~ This has been interpreted as being due to the radial movement of the cross-bridges from the vicinity of the thick filaments towards the thin filaments.2~,4~ Although the time-resolved X-ray diffraction studies have recently been performedd on isometrically and isotonically contracting muscles to give information about the kinetic properties of the cross-bridges~-8 ~ no experiments have been performed in conditions in which both the force and the muscle length change with time. The present paper deals with the time-resolved X-ray diffraction of frog skeletal muscle during shortening against an inertial load and a quick release. All experiments were made with the sartorius muscles of the bullfrog Rana catesbeiana. The muscle was mounted vertically in an experimental chamber with two Mylar windows and a multi-electrode assembly; the pelvic end was clamped to the chamber or attached to a strain gauge to record isometric force, while the tibial end was connected to an alminium lever with two arms of equal length (7 cm), the change in muscle length being recorded with a differential transformer sensing the lever angle. The initial sarcomere length was adjusted to 2.2-2.4 pm by the diffraction pattern of He-Ne laser light. The muscle was continuously perf used with oxygenated Ringer solution (2-4°C), and twitches were produced by applying supramaximal current pulses of 2 msec duration at intervals of more than 10 sec. The low angle equatorial X-ray diffraction pattern (specimen to focus distance, 36 mm) during twitches were recorded with a position sensi-
