Simple muscle-lever systems are not so simple:The need for dynamic analyses to predict lever mechanics that maximize speed

The paper shows that static analyses of skeletal levers cannot predict organism speed, demonstrating dynamic interactions between mechanical advantage and muscle physiology determine velocity.

The interaction of compliance and activation on the force-length operating range and force generating capacity of skeletal muscle

This study investigates how activation and tendon compliance interact to affect muscle force-length properties and force-generating capacity in guinea fowl using musculoskeletal modeling.
