Fig. 4. The effect of temperature on peak active power of the m. caudofemoralis in
Trapelus pallida. Values are means ± s.e.m. (N=6).
(A) A clear decrease in muscle power output is notable between 35°C and
20°C. (B) Examples of work loops at 40°C and 20°C, respectively.
Note how the shape and size of the work loops differ markedly at the two
temperatures.
