Lecture

Muscle Contraction: Speed vs Load

Description

This lecture explores how muscles work in terms of shortening speed by introducing an elastic element to vary the load the muscle must pull. Different methods are discussed to maintain the muscle length while adjusting the load, aiming to achieve a specific muscle length. The lecture also covers the process of adjusting the load by changing the spring length and moving the force sensor, leading to the recording of muscle speed at different loads.
