Abstract. The characteristics of the response to stretch of a muscle fibre are investigated using a validated model of skeletal muscle. It is found that the model correctly predicts all the peculiar features of the stretch response: the initial rapid force rise; the subsequent slower rise; the slow decay of the force upon termi-nation of the elongation; and the dependence of these phenomena upon stretching velocity and muscle length. The hypothesis explaining these phenomena is discussed in detail. 1
