Skinned fibres have advantages for comparing the muscle properties of different animal species because they can be prepared from a needle biopsy taken under field conditions. However, it is not clear how well the contractile properties of skinned fib... Read More about Skinned fibres produce the same power and force as intact fibre bundles from muscle of wild rabbits.
