Joint Angle and Muscle Contraction Velocity Joint Angle: –Higher muscle forces results in higher torque, which means a greater ability to rotate the limb about a joint against resistive torque Muscle Contraction Velocity: –Muscle force (tension) and speed of a contraction (rate) are inverse –As the speed of a concentric muscle contraction increases, its ability to produce force decreases (overlapping of myosin and actin)
