Summary

Tendon shortening in the digastric muscle of the rabbit resulted in a short term increase in gross muscle length and sarcomere length. Subsequently, muscle and sarcomere lengths decreased to less than control values. Long-term measurements suggested that a return to control sarcomere length may have been achieved by a reduction in sarcomere number.
