Distance covered in the pre-steady state. Stretching (descending limb), shortening (ascending limb). The conditions were: P/P0, 0.0526. Trace a. load acceleration, 9.8 m.s-2; load mass, 6.277 10-9 kg; F1, 3584.474 pN, k, 8.32 10-5 s. Trace b. load acceleration, 0.5158 m.s-2; load mass, 1.259 10-7 kg; F1, 230 pN; k, 2.24 10-4 s.
