The multi-scale, three-dimensional nature of skeletal muscle contraction
Physiology, 2019•journals.physiology.org
Muscle contraction is a three-dimensional process, as anyone who has observed a bulging
muscle knows. Recent studies suggest that the three-dimensional nature of muscle
contraction influences its mechanical output. Shape changes and radial forces appear to be
important across scales of organization. Muscle architectural gearing is an emerging
example of this process.
