regulation of skeletal muscle contraction by chemo-mechanical energy conversion

Term ID
GO:0014862
Synonyms
Definition
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of skeletal muscle contraction by regulating force and velocity of shortening. The force of skeletal muscle contraction is produced by acto-myosin interaction processes through formation of cross bridges. The shortening leads to reduction of length of muscle fiber and sarcomeres.
