Describe the relationship between the resting muscle length

Describe the relationship between the resting muscle length and the strength of its contraction.

Solution

Resting muscle length of Skelital muscle maximize the ability of the muscle to contract when subjected to stimulate. If the resting length is shorter orthan longer, contraction is compromised. The effect of resting muscle fiber length on muscle contraction is called Length-Tension Relationship. More than 1mm stretching of muscle, gives less contraction.
