Fig. 8. Maximum force output as a function of motor mass for `Group 2 motors' and single muscles (Marden and Allen, 2002). The upper and lower (grey) linear regression equations are log₁₀Max. force output=2.95+0.667log₁₀Muscle mass and log₁₀Max. force output= 1.74+0.999log₁₀Motor mass, respectively. Blue graphs a, b, c and d represent data and scaling equations obtained in this study. `Motor mass' is synonymous to thorax mass (m_thor) for F_lift data. Basalar muscle mass (m_bas) is used for F_stat, F_dyn and F_ind data.
