The paper is an application of the theory of chemically reacting mixtures to the mechanics of active muscle. It is indicated that some empirical rheologic models can be obtained as particular cases. Viscoelastic properties of the tissue are obtained as a result of a relaxation in the binding of actin and miosin molecules.
