Fig. 6. Variation of peak isometric stress (A) and twitch:tetanus ratio (B) between the two different muscle fibre preparations in tetanus (400 Hz, 100 ms) at 20°C. CMP fibres produced significantly less isometric stress than SMR fibres (P<0.0001; ANOVA with Tukey HSD post hoc test). CMP fibres had a significantly higher twitch:tetanus ratio than SMR fibres (P=0.046; ANOVA with Tukey HSD post hoc test). The numbers above each bar are the mean ± s.d. P₀ is reported as mN mm^–2 physiological cross section.
