Values are means ± s.e.m. at the frequency at which maximum power production occurred (fmax) at maximum Ca2+ activation (pCa 5). N, number of fibers tested. Ev, viscous modulus, Ee, elastic modulus. All fibers from 2–5-day-old flies except fln0,from Henkin et al.(2004). Oscillatory work is proportional to –Ev.
