(a) Relative force, (b) power, (c) rate of energy usage and (d) efficiency as a function of relative shortening velocity for cold and warm muscles. Curves are shown for a cold fibre (solid) and a warm fibre (dashed). Respective Vmax values are shown on the velocity axis. V1 and V2 are arbitrarily chosen examples for low and high velocities. Adapted from Rome (1990).
