On page 600, in the legend to Fig. 7, the symbols should be exchanged such that (○) refers to work absorption before eccentric contractions and (•) refers to work absorption after eccentric contractions, as follows:
Figure 7. Changes in work absorption during stretch of the passive muscle before and after eccentric contractions.
Work absorption was measured as the area contained within a length-tension figure, like those shown in the middle panel of Fig. 6, and expressed as a percentage of the work put into the muscle. Work absorption was measured for each of five successive lengthening-shortening cycles before (○, mean ± s.e.m.) and after 150 eccentric contractions (•, mean ± s.e.m.). After the contractions, all five measurements of work absorption were significantly above the values measured before the contractions (*P < 0.05).
