Efficiency approaches: in the first (A), muscle efficiency (motor) characteristics are more predominant during locomotor activity, influencing efficiency (overall) responses; in the second (B), transmission efficiency (machine) characteristics are predominant. In these cases, overall efficiency response may be higher and with different behavior than muscle efficiency. Lower values can be seen during situations under effect of isometric contractions and muscle coactivation.
