Abstract
Effects of constant magnetic field (CMF, 0.65T) on muscle tension were studied in the bullfrog sartorius muscle. Muscles were stimulated eve ry 30 mins during exposure to a CMF for up to ten hrs. Tension develop ed at each time point decreased with time. However, the rate of decrea se was smaller for test than for control muscles, and tension was larg er in test than in control muscles.
