The elastic potential energy stored in a perfectly linearly elastic material is: E elastic = ½ kx 2 = ½ F 2 / k = ½ Fx. (1) A spring''s stiffness is determined by its geometry and the properties of the material it is made of. Stiffness can be converted into a geometry-independent material property, the elastic modulus, by appropriate

Muscle and tendon energy storage represents the strain energy that is stored within a muscle-tendon complex as a muscle and tendon are stretched by the force developed by the muscle when it contracts.
