Update: 2024-09-26
Description
This episode journeys back to the early days of research on muscle work and efficiency in humans. We’ll delve into a groundbreaking 1922 paper by A.V. Hill, a pioneer in exploring the relationship between muscular force, work, efficiency, and speed. Discover how Hill's ingenious experiments, utilizing a weighted flywheel, revealed key insights into the concepts of equivalent mass, viscous resistance, and the existence of an optimal speed for mechanical efficiency in muscle contraction. Join us as we uncover the foundations of muscle mechanics and its impact on human performance.
