Enhancement of muscle and locomotor performance by a series compliance: A mechanistic simulation study.

The objective was to better understand how a series compliance alters contraction kinetics and power output of muscle to enhance the work done on a load. A mathematical model was created in which a gravitational point load was connected via a linear spring to a muscle (based on the contractile prope...
