Tension changes during and after stretch in frog muscle fibres

1. Small fibre bundles from the semitendinosus muscles of the frog were stretched during tetanic stimulation, and the resulting tension changes were studied over a wide range of stretch velocities from 0·1 to 150 cm/sec (0·1–100 length/sec). The experiments were performed within the range of fibre lengths where the resting tension was negligible.
