Paper alert from @UAFunMorph!
PhD researcher Cas Jorissen just published a chapter of his #PhD in Journal of Experimental Biology on torque–frequency trade-offs in muscle-driven lever systems 💥
Alternating contractions of antagonistic #muscle pairs can produce rapid cyclical movements—but systems adapted for high static #torque are expected to move more slowly. Cas tested how fibre type, muscle size, moment arms & inertia shape this trade-off 💪
