To coordinate and control muscle movements.
It is crucial for maintaining balance, posture, and executing complex movements.
All or none principle.
Guidelines that help optimize muscle strength and performance through systematic training.
Type I fibers (Slow).
It enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of movement patterns through practice and adaptation.
They are the basic functional units that consist of a motor neuron and the muscle fibers it innervates.
Motor units are responsible for muscle contraction and force production.
Arnold Wong, PT, MPhil, PhD.
The brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.
Type I (Slow), Type IIa (Fast - fatigue resistant), and Type IIx (Fast fatigable).
Type IIx fibers have a fast contraction speed, while Type I fibers have a slow contraction speed.
The ability of the nervous system to activate and coordinate muscle contractions.
To evaluate the maximum force a muscle can produce.
Through motor neurons that transmit signals from the central nervous system.
By sending signals from the brain to the muscles via motor neurons.
They provide feedback to the CNS about body position and movement.
Intermediate.
The central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS).
Slow force production.
Type IIa fibers.
Principles of Muscle Training.
To control and coordinate muscle movements.
They provide feedback to the central nervous system about body position and movement.
The neuromotor system influences muscle strength by optimizing motor unit recruitment and firing rates.
Small.
To coordinate and control movement through the integration of sensory and motor functions.
They are the basic functional units that consist of a motor neuron and the muscle fibers it innervates.
Low.
