Estimation of muscle parameters specifying force-length and force-velocity behavior requires in general a large number of sophisticated experiments often including a combination of isometric, isokinetic, isotonic, and quick-release experiments. This study validates a simpler method (ISOFIT) to determine muscle properties by fitting a Hill-type muscle model to a set of isovelocity data. Muscle properties resulting from the ISOFIT method agreed well with muscle properties determined separately in in vitro measurements using frog semitendinosus muscles. The force-length curve was described well by the results of the model. The force-velocity curve resulting from the model coincided with the experimentally determined curve above approximately 20% of maximum isometric force (correlation coefficient R > 0.99). At lower forces and thus higher velocities the predicted curve underestimated velocity. The stiffness of the series elastic component determined with direct experiments was approximately 10% lower than that determined by the ISOFIT method. Use of the ISOFIT method can decrease experimental time up to 80% and reduce potential changes in muscle parameters due to fatigue.
