Hello,
I posted a question two weeks ago continuing the discussion about specific
tension of muscle from a couple of months ago. I asked for references on
the specific tensions of fast twitch and slow twitch fibers. The responses
told me that there is data that suggests similar specific tension values and
data that suggests different specific tensions. Here are the references I
received. Thank you to the thred folks who responded to my request.
