Dr. A. Lee Muscle 4 17. Following statements are related to descriptions of muscle mechanics. All are true except A. B. C. D. E. 18. Muscle torque generation will increase as the velocity of movement increases. Muscle force generation with isolated muscle preparation is greatest at an optimal resting length (2-2.2 um).

A muscle that consists predominantly of fast twitch muscle fibers will generate greater torque than does a muscle that consists predominantly of slow twitch muscle fibers at a given velocity of movement.
