Abstract :
The force-velocity relationships of nine skeletal muscles in the cat´s hindlimb were obtained and modeled using a least squares estimation of Hill´s Model. Large variations were found between the models of the different muscles tested. It was found that muscle architecture and fiber composition are the most important contributors to each muscle´s force-velocity model.
