Comments on the thermodynamical background to the growth and remodelling theory applied to a model of muscle fibre contraction
Muscle fibre contraction is a complex thermomechanical process. The change in muscle fibre length (isotonic contraction) and tension (isometric contraction) may be regarded as muscle fibre growth (change in length) and remodelling (change in stiffness). In this study a general mathematical model bas...
