Analysis
On these pages, the complete analysis accompanying the manuscript can be found. Each part corresponds to a subsection of the Results section in the manuscript, which is divided into 1. In situ experiment and 2. MTC model.
All custom modules developed for the manuscript can be found here.
1.1. Reliability experiments
Section: ‘Reliability of experimental force measurements’
The page reliability experiments contains the analysis regarding the reliability of the experiments. It includes the computation of several metrics used to assess the repeatability of experimental measurements.
1.2. MTC property estimation
Section: ‘MTC property estimation’
The page MTC property estimation contains the analysis of the estimated MTC properties.
1.3 Experimental SSCs
Section: ‘Stretch-shortening cycles’
The page experimental SSCs contains the evaluation of measured AMPO for the stretch-shortening cycles that were experimentally tested.
2.1 Measurements against predictions
Section: ‘Evaluation of measured versus predicted maximally attainable AMPO’
The page measurements against predictions compares experimentally measured AMPO with model predictions for the same MTC length and stimulation trajectories.
2.2 Imposed SSCs with constant MTC shortening/lengthening velocity
Section: ‘Imposed stretch-shortening cycles — constant MTC shortening/lengthening velocity’
The page imposed SSCs with constant MTC shortening/lengthening velocity contains the predictions of the influence of cycle frequency, FTS and MTC length excursion on the maximally attainable AMPO for stretch-shortening cycles with different constant MTC velocity during shortening and lengthening.
2.3. Imposed SSCs with optimal MTC shortening/lengthening velocity
Section: ‘Imposed stretch-shortening cycles — optimal MTC shortening/lengthening velocity’
The page imposed SSCs with optimal MTC shortening/lengthening velocity contains the predictions of the influence of cycle frequency, FTS and MTC length excursion on the maximally attainable AMPO in stretch–shortening cycles, where MTC velocities are optimised to maximise AMPO.
