The effect of temperature on elasticity is difficult to isolate, because there are numerous factors affecting it. For instance, the bulk modulus of a material is dependent on the form of its lattice, its behavior under expansion, as well as the vibrations of the molecules, all of which are dependent on temperature.
Temperature. Temperature can greatly affect the ability of your muscle to contract. It is more difficult for muscle to contract in cold temperatures than in warmer conditions. Temperature affects the ease with which oxygen is released from hemoglobin. At cold temperatures, oxygen is more tightly bound to the hemoglobin and does not release as easily. This slower rate of release leads to a lower amount of oxygen available to your muscles, making contraction more difficult. You feel this as stiffness in your muscles.
