Abstract
Aim: The present study investigated the energy cost of lengthening, isometric and shortening contractions in rat muscle (n = 19). Methods: With electrical stimulation the rat medial gastrocnemius muscle was maximally stimulated to perform 10 lengthening, isometric and shortening contractions (velocity 25 mmKeywords
