Figure 2. The Effect of Maximum Muscle Strength on the Average Motor Unit Relative Relaxation Time
In this simulation, muscles of different maximum strength were loaded with a constant load, weighing 20% of the maximum muscle strength of the muscle presented in Figure 1. A mean MU relaxation/contraction duration ratio of 0 means that units are constantly contracted and the relaxation time equals 0. Mean of 100 simulations, bars represent standard deviation. (MU, motor unit).
