Based on data in frogmusclelab1of2008.xls
1. There is a difference in the peak twitch tension for wrist extensors and gastrocnemius muscles
of the frog.
2. There is a difference in the peak tetanic tension for wrist extensors and gastrocnemius muscles
of the frog.
3. There is a difference in the latent period for wrist extensors and gastrocnemius muscles of the
frog.
4. There is a difference in the contraction time for wrist extensors and gastrocnemius muscles of
the frog.
5. There is a difference in the time to fatigue for wrist extensors and gastrocnemius muscles of the
frog.
6. There is a difference in the peak twitch tension and peak titanic tension for wrist extensors.
7. There is a difference in the peak tetanic tension and peak titanic tension for wrist extensors.
8. There is a difference in the tetanic interval for wrist extensors and the gastrocnemius muscle.
9. There is a difference in the twitch duration for wrist extensors and the gastrocnemius muscle.
10. There is a difference in the rate of tension development (grams per millisecond) for wrist
extensors and the gastrocnemius muscle.
