The shape of the force-velocity (F-V) relationship has important implications for different aspects of muscle physiology, such as muscle efficiency and fatigue, the understanding of the pathophysiology of several myopathies or the mechanisms of muscle contraction per se , and may be of relevance for other fields, such as the development of robotics and prosthetic applications featuring natural muscle-like properties. However, different opinions regarding the shape of the F-V relationship and the underlying mechanisms exist in the literature. In this review, we summarize relevant evidence on the shape of the F-V relationship obtained over the last century. Studies performed at multiple scales ranging from the sarcomere to the organism level have described the concentric F-V relationship as linear, hyperbolic or double-hyperbolic. While the F-V relationship has most frequently been described as a rectangular hyperbola, a large number of studies have found deviations from the hyperbolic function at both ends of the F-V relation. Indeed, current evidence suggests that the F-V relation in skeletal muscles follows a double-hyperbolic pattern, with a breakpoint located at very high forces/low velocities, which may be a direct consequence of the kinetic properties of myofilament cross-bridge formation. Deviations at low forces/high velocities, by contrast, may be related to a recently discovered, calcium-independent regulatory mechanism of muscle contraction, which may also explain the low metabolic cost of very fast muscle shortening contractions. Controversial results have also been reported regarding the eccentric F-V relationship, with studies in prepared muscle specimens suggesting that maximum eccentric force is substantially greater than isometric force, whereas in vivo studies in humans show only a modest increase, no change, or even a decrease in force in lengthening contractions. This review discusses possible reasons reported in the literature for these discrepant findings, including the testing procedures (familiarization, pre-load condition, and temperature) and a potential neural inhibition at higher lengthening velocities. Finally, some unresolved questions and recommendations for F-V testing in humans are reported at the end of this document.

“…Of note, training-induced fatigue is a common phenomenon if body mass has to be reduced in the preparation of a competition (7). In this context, a significant decrease in v̅ 0 in the bench press throw after a fatiguing protocol for the upper extremities (i.e., lifting to failure at 60 and 80% 1RM loads in bench press) has been reported in 18 physically active men aged 23 years (8). In contrast, in athlete 2, average load of exercises with a focus on maximal strength development (C4-5) and overall average load (C1-5) negatively correlated with v̅ 0 at a time delay of 4 weeks.…”

Sandau, I and Granacher, U. Long-term monitoring of training load, force-velocity profile, and performance in elite weightlifters: a case series with two male Olympic athletes. J Strength Cond Res 36(12): 3446-3455, 2022-The aim of this case series approach was to analyze weekly changes in force-velocity relationship (FvR) parameters (v ̅ 0 , F ̅ 0 , P ̅ max ) and theoretical snatch performance (snatch th ) assessed through a specific snatch pull test in preparation of the European and World Championships in 2 male elite weightlifters. A second aim was to examine associations of training load (volume, volume load, average load), barbell FvRparameters, and snatch th over a period of 2 macrocycles in preparation of the same competitions. FvR-parameters, snatch th , training load data, and body mass were assessed weekly over 40 weeks. Using the smallest real difference approach, significant (p # 0.05) decreases in v ̅ 0 and increases in F ̅ 0 , P ̅ max , and snatch th were found within macrocycles. However, the large significant loss in body mass (11%) in athlete 1 during macrocycle 2 represents most likely a main factor for diminished P ̅ max , and snatch th in macrocycle 2. Based on cross-correlation analyses, barbell FvR-parameters and snatch th were significantly (p # 0.05) associated with maximal strength, muscle power, and speed training load variables. Moderate correlations (0.31-0.47) were found between training load and P ̅ max and snatch th in athlete 2. It can be concluded that the applied training loads elicits improvements in P ̅ max and snatch th because the athlete approached the main competitions. However, because of the large loss in body mass, the relations between training load and barbell FvR-parameters and snatch th were less clear in athlete 1. It seems that a loss in body mass as a result of a change in bodyweight category mitigates P ̅ max development during the macrocycle and hindered to reach peak snatch th at the main competitions.

“…According to previous studies on the low-load repetitive operations in various forcevelocity relationships [32][33][34], the biceps brachii, upper trapezius, and multifidus, which are directly involved in the operations and considered vulnerable to fatigue, were chosen to be the targeted muscles. There are several controllable variables as follows.…”

Manual material handling (MMH) is commonly demanded in the manufacturing industry. Occupational muscle fatigue of the arm, shoulder, and back, which arise from MMH tasks, can cause work absences and low efficiency. The available literature presents the lack of the fatigue comparison between targeted muscles, on the same part or on different parts. The main aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare the fatigue of upper-body muscles during repetitive bending tasks, an experiment involving 12 male subjects has been conducted to simulate material handling during furniture board drilling. The vertical lifting distance was chosen to be the single independent variable, and the three levels were 0, 250, and 500 mm. Surface electromyography (sEMG) was used to measure the muscle fatigue of the biceps brachii, upper trapezius, and multifidus, while the sEMG parameters, including the normalized electromyographic amplitude (Normalized EA) and mean power frequency (MPF), of the target muscles were analyzed. The experimental results reveal that during the manual handling tasks, the biceps brachii was the most relaxed muscle, contributing the least muscle tension, while the multifidus was the most easily fatigued muscle. Furthermore, the EMG MPF fatigue threshold (MPFFT) of multifidus muscle tension was tested to estimate its maximum workload in the long-term muscle contraction. In conclusion, bending angle should be maintained to a small range or bending should even be avoided during material-handling tasks.
