Architectural gear ratio, also called anatomical gear ratio (AGR) is a feature of pennate muscle defined by the ratio between the longitudinal strain of the muscle and muscle fiber strain.
It is sometimes also defined as the ratio between muscle-shortening velocity and fiber-shortening velocity. AGR = εx/εf where εx = longitudinal strain and εf is fiber strain
In fusiform muscle, the fibers are longitudinal, so longitudinal strain is equal to fiber strain, and AGR is always 1. As the pennate mus
