abstract: 'Functions for the import, transformation, and analysis of data from muscle
  physiology experiments. The work loop technique is used to evaluate the mechanical
  work and power output of muscle. Josephson (1985) <https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.114.1.493>
  modernized the technique for application in comparative biomechanics. Although our
  initial motivation was to provide functions to analyze work loop experiment data,
  as we developed the package we incorporated the ability to analyze data from experiments
  that are often complementary to work loops. There are currently three supported
  experiment types: work loops, simple twitches, and tetanus trials. Data can be imported
  directly from .ddf files or via an object constructor function. Through either method,
  data can then be cleaned or transformed via methods typically used in studies of
  muscle physiology. Data can then be analyzed to determine the timing and magnitude
  of force development and relaxation (for isometric trials) or the magnitude of work,
  net power, and instantaneous power among other things (for work loops). Although
  we do not provide plotting functions, all resultant objects are designed to be friendly
  to visualization via either base-R plotting or ''tidyverse'' functions. This package
  has been peer-reviewed by rOpenSci (v. 1.1.0).'
