An Energetic Model of Muscle Contraction
Biophysical Journal, 1972 Initial energy utilization in the twitch is visualized as the result of the activity of two distinct processes. The first is the calcium-pumping activity of the sarcoplasmic reticulum, which has a constant energy requirement under normal conditions.
