Predictions
Effect of Muscle Fiber Length on Contraction
1. As muscle fiber length increases contraction force increases.
Effect of Stimulation Frequency on Contraction
2. As the frequency of stimulation increases, the force of contraction: increases. Materials and Methods
Measurement of Threshold Stimulus
1. Dependent Variable contraction force
2. Independent Variable stimulation voltage
3. Controlled Variables muscle fiber length; frequency of stimulation; temperature
Effect of Muscle Length on Contraction
1. Dependent Variable contraction force
2. Independent Variable muscle fiber length
3. Controlled Variables temperature; frequency of stimulation; stimulation voltage
Effect of Stimulation Frequency on Contraction
