Size Principle Answer-Based on the relationship between motor unit twitch force and
recruitment threshold.
The recruitment and decruitment of motor units in an orderly manner is governed by what?
Answer-The Size Principle
Selective Recruitment Answer-Fast twitch muscle fibers may be recruited before slow
twitch fibers under certain circumstances that allow an athlete to inhibit lower-threshold motor
units and in their place activate the higher-threshold motor units critical to optimal speed and
power performance.
Neuromuscular Junction (NMJ) Answer-The interface between the nerve and skeletal
muscle and is another potential site for the occurrence of neural adaptations from anaerobic
training.
Electromyography (EMG) Answer-This is a common research tool used to examine the
magnitude of neural activation following training.
An increase in EMG indicates what? Answer-Greater Neural Activation
Cross-education Answer-Training only one limb can result in an increase in strength in the
untrained limb.
