In order to produce the greatest amount of force, there is an ideal length at which a muscle should operate. This relationship between length and amount of force produced is called what?
  1. Force-velocity
  2. Force-couple
  3. Length-couple
  4. Length-Tension
Explanation
Answer - D - The relationship that allows a muscle to produce the greatest amount of force at its ideal length is called the length-tension relationship. A muscle stretching beyond this ideal length, or being shorter than the ideal length, will cause the muscle’s force output to decrease and be less efficient. This may lead to possible misalignment and postural problems.
