Force of Muscle Contraction

Force-Velocity Relationship

Force-Velocity Relationship

As velocity increases force and therefore power produced is reduced. Although force increases due to stretching with no velocity, zero power is produced. Maximum power is generated at one-third of maximum shortening velocity.
