Biomechanics

dependence of a muscle fiber's isometric force on sarcomere length, explained by the overlap of actin and myosin filaments.

In biomechanics, length-tension relationship refers to dependence of a muscle fiber's isometric force on sarcomere length, explained by the overlap of actin and myosin filaments. This meaning comes from Gordon (1966) in The Journal of Physiology.[1]
