Hi,
I`m fresh in the field of biomechanics and need help please. I want to find the stretch-time curve for isotonic contraction of the muscle. I only get the force-velocity and lenght-force curves of quick-relase experiment.
Thanks
Burtek
 
do you have both curves from one experiment ?

then you can cross plot length/velocity

and from that you should be able to derive stretch (increment in length)/time (from velocity being dl/dt)
