The mechanism of force enhancement during lengthening was investigated on single frog muscle fibres by using fast stretches to measure the rupture tension of the crossbridge ensemble. Fast stretches were applied to one end of the activated fibre and force responses were measured at the other. Sarcomere length was measured by a striation follower device. Fast stretching induced a linear increase of tension that reached a peak and fell before the end of the stretch indicating that a sudden increase of fibre compliance occurred due to forced crossbridge detachment induced by the fast loading. The peak tension (critical tension, Pc) and the sarcomere length needed to reach Pc (critical length, Lc) were measured at various tensions during the isometric tetanus rise and during force enhancement by slow lengthening. The data showed that Pc was proportional to the tension generated by the fibre under both isometric and slow lengthening conditions. However, for a given tension increase, Pc was 6.5 times greater during isometric than during lengthening conditions. Isometric critical length was 13.04 +/- 0.17 nm per half-sarcomere (nm hs(-1)) independently of tension. During slow lengthening critical length fell as the force enhancement increased. For 90% enhancement, Lc reduced to 8.19 +/- 0.039 nm hs(-1). Assuming that the rupture force of the individual crossbridge is constant, these data indicate that the increase of crossbridge number during lengthening accounts for only 15.4% of the total force enhancement. The remaining 84.6% is accounted for by the increased mean strain of the crossbridges.
