Two types of contractionTwo types of contraction
Isometric = Contraction producing an increase Isometric = Contraction producing an increase in tension with out a change in muscle length in tension with out a change in muscle length
Isotonic = Contraction against a constant load Isotonic = Contraction against a constant load where muscle ends change lengthwhere muscle ends change length

The length of a muscle The length of a muscle influences how much influences how much
total force it can generatetotal force it can generate

Skeletal muscles must be supplied Skeletal muscles must be supplied with ATP for proper contraction.with ATP for proper contraction.
Muscle fibers come in different types Muscle fibers come in different types based on their composition of based on their composition of myosin fibers and metabolismmyosin fibers and metabolism

Fatigue is not due to lack of ATP. Fatigue is not due to lack of ATP. The muscle is turned off by other The muscle is turned off by other mechanisms before the ATP runs mechanisms before the ATP runs
