Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the behaviour of muscles in an external instantaneous force field. A model is presented which provides a qualitative assessment of what occurs when muscles react to a strong strike or a sudden jerk. In the context of the model, it has been noticed that fine muscles reacted to a strike or jerk differently to massive muscles.
