It is possible to study the mechanical properties of a muscle deprived of participation in any non-viscous component by the simple device of observing the speed of shortening under various isotonic loads. Expts. on the sartorius of Rana pipiens, and the sartorius of cats, show that the speed of shortening is the same as for a muscle released after tension is fully developed. As the speed of shortening increases, the force decreases, but in exponential, not linear fashion. This is concerned with the processes of developing extra energy for the work of shortening. A muscle cannot be treated as a simple mechanical system.
