Abstract
Using the volume conductor model, a single muscle fibre action potential can be expressed as a convolution of the transmembrane current and a weighting function. By simplifying the weighting function, the line source model is derived. We have developed similar expressions to compute the single muscle fibre action potential using simple models and physical considerations without any mathematical complexity. The relationship between the conduction velocity and amplitude is analysed and it is concluded that, for a given fibre, the amplitude is inversely proportional to the conduction velocity. This agrees with the experimental data reported in the literature.
