Fig. 6. Comparison of the model output to the experimental results across a range
of stimulation conditions with activation constants optimised to best fit each
individual cycle frequency (Fig.
3). Length, force, energetic output, activation and contractile
component velocity are compared between the model output (dotted blue lines)
and the experimental results (solid blue lines). The convention for these
figures is the same as for the single condition in
Fig. 3, with the red lines
indicating the modelled energetic output for the experimental data (energy
plot), the estimated experimental activation level (activation plot) and the
MTU velocity [contractile component (CE) velocity plot]. The comparison is
made at the frequencies of (A) 5 Hz and (B) 0.71 Hz.
