WORK DONE BY THE MUSCLE

Work done (W) = (Hxl)/L

• L – Length bet fulcrum and the tip of the lever
• L – Length bet fulcrum and the weight load
• H – Observed HT on contraction
• The chemical energy liberated during contraction is party converted into mechanical energy with manifibers ency indicated paction of total energy liberated is converted into work.
• Untrained animals = 20%
• Trained – 25 – 30%
• Isolated muscle – 40%
