Fig. 10. Fast muscle shortening velocity at three points along the body axis during sprinting. Blue, red and green points represent data from 0.35, 0.5 and 0.65FL, respectively, where FL is fork length. Data for carp and scup were derived from Rome et al. (Rome et al., 1992). The solid horizontal line represents the mean fast-start muscle shortening velocity. The dashed horizontal line represents the minimum fast-start muscle shortening velocity. l0 is the resting muscle length. r=0.99, 0.98 and 0.97 for linear regression lines at 0.35, 0.5 and 0.65FL, respectively. For all lines P<0.05 (Pearson product moment correlation).
