The Q 10 temperature coefficient is a measure of temperature sensitivity based on the chemical reactions.

14-426: A negative or inverse thermal dependence, i.e., a decrease in muscle performance as temperature increases. Q 10 values for biological processes vary with temperature. Decreasing muscle temperature results in a substantial decline of muscle performance such that a 10 degree Celsius temperature decrease results in at least a 50% decline in muscle performance. Persons who have fallen into icy water may gradually lose

28-480: The ability to swim or grasp safety lines due to this effect, although other effects such as atrial fibrillation are a more immediate cause of drowning deaths. At some minimum temperature biological systems do not function at all, but performance increases with rising temperature ( Q 10 of 2-4) to a maximum performance level and thermal independence ( Q 10 of 1.0-1.5). With continued increase in temperature, performance decreases rapidly ( Q 10 of 0.2-0.8) up to
35-401: The assumption behind Q 10 is that the reaction rate R depends exponentially on temperature: Q 10 is a unitless quantity, as it is the factor by which a rate changes, and is a useful way to express the temperature dependence of a process. For most biological systems, the Q 10 value is ~ 2 to 3. The temperature of a muscle has a significant effect on the velocity and power of

49-428: The muscle contraction, with performance generally declining with decreasing temperatures and increasing with rising temperatures. The Q 10 coefficient represents the degree of temperature dependence a muscle exhibits as measured by contraction rates. A Q 10 of 1.0 indicates thermal independence of a muscle whereas an increasing Q 10 value indicates increasing thermal dependence. Values less than 1.0 indicate
