[Liberation of additional heat during muscle contraction (Fenn effect)].
The calculation of additional heat evolved during contraction of muscle is presented. It is supposed that the cause of arise of additional heat is the transformation in heat of the potential energy which accumulates in actin filament in the process of its torsion.
