2 Explain why the delay between muscle stimulation and load movement became longer as the load became heavier in the experiment. How well did the results compare with your prediction? Recall that, during the experiment, you were asked: As the load on the muscle creases, what will happen to the latent period, the shortening velocity, the distance that the weight moves, and the contraction duration? You answered: The latent period will stay the same, the shortening velocity will decrease, the distance will decrease, and the contraction duration will increase
