The AT-treated muscles reached 10 °C around 11 h pm (Fig. 1)
which, according to Bendall's rule of thumb (Bendall, 1972), would
prevent the occurrence of cold shortening. The muscle's pH reached
6.0 (Table 1) when the temperature of the muscle was around 17 °C
indicating, according to Thompson (2002), that no cold shortening
occurred.
