Abstract
1. Determine why efficiency is greater during a sinusoidal movement (mimicking swimming) than during constant velocity shortening. 2. Compare efficiency during contraction (work/ATP used) with efficiency for contraction+recovery (work/O2 used). 3. Test the hypothesis that oxidative phosphorylation (re-forming phospocreatine) is the only process occurring during recovery after contraction.
