a

Expressed relative to myoplasmic H2O volume; converted from 140 mM min−1 in sustained maximal contraction at 37°C (for details, see Barclay, 2017).

b

From data for type 2A human fibers (Szentesi et al., 2001) and other mammalian muscles (Barclay et al., 2007).

c

Assumed Q10 = 2 (Barclay, 2012).

d

Two Ca2+ translocated for each ATP-splitting cycle (Weber et al., 1966).
