Definitions:

Treppe

Series of successively stronger contractions that occur when a rested muscle fiber receives closely spaced stimuli of the same strength but with a sufficient stimulus interval to allow complete relaxation of the fiber between stimuli.

Muscle Efficiency

The effectiveness with which muscles convert energy (usually biochemical, such as ATP) into work or movement.

Graded Response

A response that varies directly with the strength of the stimulus, as seen in the incremental increase in a muscle's contraction strength in relation to stimulus intensity.

Lag Phase

One of the three phases of muscle contraction; time between the application of the stimulus and the beginning of muscular contraction; also called latent phase.
