Predict Questions
1 Predict Question 1: As the stimulus frequency increases, what will happen to the muscle
force generated with each successive stimulus? Will there be a limit to this response?
Your answer: As the stimulus frequency increases, the muscle force generated by each
successive stimulus will increase. There will be a limit to this increase.
2 Predict Question 2: In order to produce sustained muscle contractions with an active force
value of 5.2, do you think you will need to increase the stimulus voltage?
Your answer: Yes.
Stop & Think Questions
1 Was there any change in the force generated by the muscle during the second stimulated
twitch?
You correctly answered: Yes, the second twitch generated more muscle force.
2 Is the total muscle force generated by the higher frequency stimulation greater than the
force generated in previous stimulations?
You correctly answered: Yes, it is greater than the previous stimulations.
3 Does the force generated by the muscle change with each additional stimulus?
You correctly answered: As the stimulus frequency increased, the muscle tension generated
by each successive stimulus also increased, and a limiting maximum value was observed.
