[Contraction of the muscle fiber during propagation of excitation].
One-dimensional contraction propagating in a muscle fibre with prescribed load is considered theoretically. The analysis is based on the general model of continuous medium with mechanochemical reactions. Deformations and displacements in isotonic regime are calculated for two modes of stimulation: at the end point of the fibre or at some its intermediate point. Possible applications of the results to a cardiomyocyte are discussed in Addendum.
