5 Questions
What type of muscle recruits fewer motor units initially and gradually increases recruitment as force requirement grows?
Small muscles
Which type of contraction decreases force with increasing velocity?
Concentric contraction
What controls functions like motor control and sensory processing in the brain?
Parietal lobe
Which hormones respond to acute resistance training, promoting muscle growth and stress regulation?
Growth hormone and testosterone
How does the central nervous system (CNS) increase force production?
By motor unit recruitment and increased firing rate
Test your knowledge of motor unit recruitment and velocity and force production with this quiz. Explore how small and large muscles recruit motor units and understand the relationship between force and velocity during concentric and eccentric contractions.
